like to harp on the email client choice will certainly find some

Usually it's an online poll - where anyone is welcome to submit.
Interesting to see Evolution at so low a %, though probably not
surprising given the active work occurring in Thunderbird right now.
I think the hard part is trying to figure out what consequences
removing the GUI part of Evolution would make ie. which bits rely on
e-d-s and what impact would that be to the user interface.
Sun also has somewhat of an obligation to provide an accessible
desktop by default, which isn't really a consideration in such
polls... I'm not sure how Thunderbird currently stacks up against
Evolution on the a11y front, but it certainly used to lag somewhat.
Cheeri,
