   1st - Great!!! Thank you.

   I assume that one can still do things like
     yum install evolution 
   with the kde spin ? 

   2nd - firefox should probably be included or easy to yum install - its the 
de facto standard.

   3rd - whilst I use kmail (kontact) and mostly like it I have some 
reservations - i am using it - almost exclusively - but:

        (a) it crashes (segv) a lot (imap) - bugs happen but response to fix 
things like this is very slow (bug reported july 2006 bug #128593) - this 
response to fix bugs worries me - its still in the same state. In fact, the 
only comments are to mark other bugs as dups - ie zero (zarro??) progress in 
fixing this critical bug ... and I think this may not be abnormal.

        (b) it cannot reply to html formatted mail without destroying the 
mail. In practice this makes it very hard to use in the corporate world. 
This has been an open request since err 2004 (bug #86423) - html is a fact of 
life - kmail is the only graphical MUA which cannot handle html. Even outlook 
does this right!

      So I somewhat reluctantly suggest evolution be added or easy to yum 
install for practical reasons - this may drag in some gnome libraries which 
is fine in my (obviously personal and biased) view. As long as folks can just 
install this anyway it probably doesn't matter. Evo is far from perfect too 
but ... 

   Thanks again ...
