Well, it this was the only bug ;)

Then you're in the same boat as I am.

 Though evo definitely has improved with fc6, I feel evo has entered the
finish line to "having become unusable". It's a miracle to me, how Linux
vendors and the Gnome project could have allowed a once "promissing
application" degrade the way they apparently did.

Unfortunately for me and fortunately for evo, I haven't found any better
GUI-MUA, yet ;)
