Nobody ever said so, and I don't know why you'd think so. > and my requests for a new feature are worthless. Nobody ever said so, and I don't know why you'd think so. However, we cannot travel back three years in time to fix your three year old version that you decided to run. That's why I recommended to upgrade. > Why on earth would I expect a > piece of linux software to work out of the box without spending weeks > playing with the settings ? How stupid of me. I have no idea why you'd want to "play with the settings" though, as that would not solve any problem. See my previous reply. > Oh well, I suppose I'll just have to go on suffering > the countless html coding errors this standard version of evolution has > suffered from since I started using it 15 years ago. See my previous reply: If you don't want to stick with ancient buggy software versions, upgrade to recent less buggy software versions. (I have no idea what a "standard version" is, though - if you think that your distro ships a "standard version", you could talk to your distro to update that "standard version" as the packages that you use are provided by your distro and not by us.) You chose to use a conservative LTS version of some distro, so you get the package versions of that conservative LTS distro, basically. The package update policy of your distro is up to your distro, not us. > BTW here is what > the world "development" as in "software development" means:- > > https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/development > "the > process in which someone or something grows or changes and becomes more > advanced:" That's what has happened within the last three years of development, however you are running a software version from three years ago.
