I dunno - it's worked just fine on my "gnomehide" version of
evolution/gnome from people.redhat.com.

I didn't have an issue with this since I use sIMAP. Although converting
all my mutt aliases to vcard format was a pain (until I found 2vcard on

Speaking of which, You'll notice I'm signing messages again, because
evolution makes it easy. Anyone who uses Outlook Express gets
attachments, but apparently that's just Express, as one of my friends
tried a full version of Outlook and things were just fine. Go figure.
