Jeff,

Thank you for your thoughtful reply to my feature requests.  I have only one 
comment to make:

Well, whether it's "standard" or not, in-line is what the last free version of 
PGP for Window$ uses (i.e., v. 6.58) so I get a lot of incoming messages with 
it.

OK, that's good enough for me.  I can wait.  Some of the KDE crap I have to 
put up with in order to run KMail is driving me nuts, but I can wait because 
even with all of its warts, KDE is still orders of magnitude better than 
anything coming out of that programmer's kindergarten in Redmond, Washington.

Keep up your good work.  I'm looking forward to using Evolution someday.
