Evolution

Just upgraded to 1.2 of Ximian Evolution. I've become very accustomed to
Evolution over the last year and was excited to see the final release of
it.

I was trying to build some of the beta versions of it, but virtually impossible.
Gnome has brought new meaning to the term
DLL hell.

The amount of dependencies I had to sort out made me give up after several
hours wasted.

To Ximian's support, they know this and have got the red-carpet installer
to make it easier. My problemis that I use Linux Mandrake 9.0, which they
don't support.

They did make me happy though by releasing a red-carpet instal of Evolution
only for Mandrake 9.0

I'm sorry, but when it comes to ease of installation, KDE has got gnome beat
hands down.

My biggest pet pieve about Ximian, is their insistance on thinking that PGPMime
is the only way to do PGP.

I use PGP alot, but when I receive an encrypted file in standard PGP ascii
armor, I first have to save it and then run GnuPG on the command line.

Dang, I had hoped they would have fixed this by now. This might actually
 make me look at other clients.
