I happen not to use evolution for email - everybody should be able to make  
their own choice - so I don't want evolution in my menus or popping up to  
create a mail when such is initiated from any context.
(But I do like the promise of Beagle, I wasn't complaining about it, just  
about what is trying to sneak in behind it)

I don't mind at all that (library) code is reused - that makes sense.

No, but I ask that everyone's freedom to choose is preserved.

Mailing this list is less effort than creating a bugzilla, and usually a good  
sounding board whether such a report would stand a chance of getting worked.

Regards, and sorry if I offended anyone, Willem Riede.
