Re: Clicking 'Tasks' defeat Evolution! What to do?

[Godfrey Harrison <harrison macau ctm net>]

Many thanks for your response.   I think 'I' count as "pure sarge"   
It's the one operating system here and was installed on a hard drive I'd 
completely erased when partitioning  ready to installing sarge. 

The
         evolution -c mail
suggestion I had from Marcel Schepers gets Evolution going there are a 
few 'camel warning's (intriguing phrase!) but the client seems to work 
all right.

Thanks again
                      Godfrey
