I renamed</TT> <TT>the evolution folder in /home/<userid>/.gconf/apps to evolution.bak and</TT> <TT>rebooted. (I have had problems with evolution crashing due to corruption</TT> <TT>of its files, particularly after an extensive search of an archive. The</TT> <TT>fact that it is corrupting is only my guess). Anyhow on reboot I needed</TT> <TT>to enter my account details as evolution started the setup wizard, but</TT> <TT>afterwards html mail displayed as normal. This made me very ecstatic to</TT> <TT>say the least, but stumped as to what the original problem was.</TT> <TT>Anyhow its got me a bit miffed about evolution and its suitability as a</TT> <TT>mail client. I personally think it is great and have used it for quite a</TT> <TT>few years now after coming from a heavily dominated outlook background.</TT> <TT>I'm not really sure if I'm just having PPC issues, but html mail is not</TT> <TT>formatted in the same way as when I use Thunderbird. The crashes are</TT> <TT>also starting to annoy me. I have always thought that evolution was what</TT> <TT>you would consider mature and stable in software terms but that hasn't</TT> <TT>been the case for me.</TT> <TT>So maybe a evolution developer might read this and send me some advice</TT> <TT>on the problems I have been having or maybe I will just swap clients,</TT> <TT>who knows. Anyhow my original problem has been fixed and the solution</TT> <TT>might help someone else out.</TT> <TT>Michael Hunt</TT> </BODY> </HTML>
