        Hi,
that's odd, but okay, the issue had been identified.

Right, the other thing was the message structure. It had been clarified
too.

It depends on your distribution.

There is an upstream, the place where the main development happens, and
the distributions providing their users with versions they choose.
Upstream currently handles only the current stable version and the
development version. In some rare cases, like when really bad things
are recognized in the previous stable version, a new release is done,
but that's really rare.

Bug fix, from my point of view. You can ask your distribution
maintainer(s) to backport it, but knowing that there is a limited man
power on all sides it'll be harder.

You indicated that you use Fedora, the Fedora 26 contains 3.24.x of
Evolution (and GNOME). It reached its beta a week and a day ago. The
final release is planned for July, which is not that far, thus I guess
it's okay to wait.
