** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: evolution
  
  SRU JUSTIFICATION:
  Small patch to use along with patch in bug 664167 to use proxy credentials to load images.
  This is a big issue for corporate users wishing to have access to rich email content (embedded images) from behind a secured proxy (as it is the case in many large enterprises).
  
  There is minimal impact since this only affects users behind a proxy,
  and only if they use a secured proxy (requiring authentication).
  
  TEST CASES:
-  - Requires a proxy with authentication turned on. This can be easily achieved using squid using the pam_auth provider, for example.

  1) Configure the proxy settings in Gnome (System->Preferences->Network Proxy) or Evolution (Edit->Preferences->Network Preferences), including authentication username and password.
- 2) Load a message which contains embedded images from the Internet in a URL document (see attached example)

  3) Force loading the images from the Internet by pressing Ctrl-I.
  
  For a successful test cases, you will see embedded images being loaded from the Internet and displayed in the message.
  For a failed test cases, the images will not load.

  We need the patch from upstream bug 631526 to land so that proxy
  credentials are used properly when loading images.
