You seem to be confused about the difference between policy for posting on this list, and the developers' priorities for promoting Evolution or indeed Linux. The whole top-posting question has *nothing* to do with the Evo developers and nothing to do with Evo's technical architecture. It also has nothing to do with the use of Evolution in other environments, commercial or not. It is entirely a matter for the members of this list to decide. If common practice in a commercial environment is to use top-posting, there's nothing whatever in Evo to prevent that or even make it difficult. In that sense Evo is no more restrictive than any other email client I have seen, and is indeed more flexible than some (I'm looking at you, Blackberry Messenger). On the "uptake" question: most developers are doing this because they enjoy it. Some are being paid by companies such as RedHat to do the work we all appreciate. None of them are in marketing or commercial end-user support. If an end-user pays for support they are entitled to certain expectations and they can contact their provider, but as most of us aren't paying anything we just get together and try to help each other. Personally I simply don't care if Evo takes over the world. I use it because I like it, that's all. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
