Try it from a completely fresh (new) login account on your machine and see what happens. If it's fixed, the problem is that some old setting is being remembered.

I don't know if RHEL 5 supports a more recent version but if so you'd be strongly advised to upgrade it. poc _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
