Greetings!

I have been an evolution user for quite a few years now. I was quite pleased when 
RedHat incorporated Evolution into their Linux distro. But I like to keep up with the 
latest versions of things and so, after installing RedHat version 9 and using it for a 
number of months, I recently upgraded Evolution to the latest version. After using it 
for a few days, I was distressed to notice 2 things that I always used to use are no 
longer as they used to be:

1. the killev command line script is no longer easily accessible (I used to be able to 
just type killev at the command line and it would execute). I know that it is still 
there and that I can still execute it by altering my "path" or including the full path 
to the file on the command line. However, this used to be taken care of for me, and 
now it isn't.

2. More importantly, and more distressing to me, is the removal of a very useful 
feature that I LOVED in the older versions of evolution. When you had one or more new 
message or reply-to message windows up (I often edit a bunch of messages and leave 
them up while I gather info for them or just contemplate what I want to say before I 
send them), if, for whatever reason, evolution crashed or had to be forcably killed 
due to a UI lock-up or a system reboot, upon re-starting Evolution and attempting to 
either reply to a message or create a new message, a dialog would appear informing you 
that Evolution detected unsaved messages and asked it you wanted it to attempt to 
recover those messages for you. If you replied in the affirmative, it would recreate 
all of those lost messages and open each in its own window ... and then create the 
new/reply message that you had originally requested as well. I cannot tell you how 
many times this feature saved my sanity and countless hours of my time!!!!!

Is there any way we can get, at least, feature #2 re-created for us? I really relied 
on that feature and if I can't get it in the new evolution, I may be "forced" to go 
back to version 1.2  that was included in RedHat version 9. It is that important to me.

Thank you in advance,
