Eh? Launching Evolution, or just Evolution 'components' from the command line is well documented; in the documentation. (!!!) evolution --express evolution --component tasks evolution --disable-preview --component mail But, aside, I think these command-line-RULEZ type screeds (and they tend to be little else) don't really contribute anything substantive to the conversation. They certainly aren't going to win over any users - not like improved applications, closed bugs, and better documentation will. And Evolution isn't Outlook 2010, and Outlook 2010 isn't Evolution. Each is itself. Open Source applications being pitched as stand-ins for proprietary / commercial applications is a well traveled road to nowhere. > (As an aside, I've observed that both Fedora 17 Xfce and Debian 6.0.6 > use Evolution as the default email client in their base installs.

So it seems natural to me. It integrates with other applications in a way that has no competitor. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
