My apologies, I did not mean to imply any of the above. Email isn't all that great a medium of discussion, especially with cursory statements such as mine above. What I meant by 'obvious' is that, once you have been directed to look at the icon, there is an obvious connection between its normal plugged-in state and its un-plugged state. The OP suggested that a similar functionality, already served by this icon, be added to the send/receive button. While in itself not a bad idea, I merely meant to point out that such an icon already exists. Again, however, my apologies for any aggressiveness, I did not believe or wish to imply any lack on the OP's part. _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
