** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: evolution-data-server
+ 
+ SRU JUSTIFICATION:
+ Small patch to use along with patch in bug 664169 to use proxy credentials to 
load images.
+ This is a big issue for corporate users wishing to have access to rich email 
content (embedded images) from behind a secured proxy (as it is the case in 
many large enterprises).
+ 
+ There is minimal impact since this only affects users behind a proxy,
+ and only if they use a secured proxy (requiring authentication).
+ 
+ TEST CASES:
+  - Requires a proxy with authentication turned on. This can be easily 
achieved using squid using the pam_auth provider, for example.
+ 
+ 1) Configure the proxy settings in Gnome (System->Preferences->Network Proxy) 
or Evolution (Edit->Preferences->Network Preferences), including authentication 
username and password.
+ 2) Load a message which contains embedded images from the Internet in a URL 
document (see attached example)
+ 3) Force loading the images from the Internet by pressing Ctrl-I.
+ 
+ For a successful test cases, you will see embedded images being loaded from 
the Internet and displayed in the message.
+ For a failed test cases, the images will not load.
+ 
+ ---
  
  We need the patch from the upstream bug 615274 landed so that proxy
  credentials are used properly.
