Re: Evolution uses movemail?

[Loban Rahman <loban enigma caltech edu>]

You miss my point. I have no opinion on the capabilities of movemail.
What I was pointing out was this undocumented dependency. I ought to be
told if I need to install emacs (or at least, just the movemail program) 
to make Evolution work (I use Xemacs and Vi, hence i didn't have movemail).

My main question, however, was whether this dependency will stay, or are
they replacing it with their own mbox-handler, as u said. Anyone?
