Surprise. So that generic branded, nameless app actually does have a
name and isn't really called "Tool for generic task X"...

Right, "we" as in GNOME don't have it. But there is a mailing list
dedicated to Evolution.


Judging from the average previous posts to that list, I expect
conversations like this... Right, there are a lot of KDE users running
Evolution, who don't understand that Evolution is a GNOME app. Tell 'em
why Evolution won't respect his KDE Default Browser setting...

KDE user: "Still looking for a great eMail Client, PIM? I do use
 Evolution. Try it, it's great."
GNOME user: "Hmm, there is no such app in my Applications menu. Well,
 maybe I should switch to KDE then..."
