** Description changed: Binary package hint: evolution + + SRU JUSTIFICATION: + Small patch to use along with patch in bug 664167 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 upstream bug 631526 to land so that proxy credentials are used properly when loading images.
