Actually, I should expound on this. I believe setting $EDITOR to gvim doesn't work, because gvim by default forks, so evo thinks $EDITOR is done when it isn't. Setting $EDITOR to "gvim -f" results in invocation failure. It may work as is for emacs.( i'll have to re-verify this ) _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
