  <title>Quick Reference</title>
  <para>
      You might want to copy this section and tape it to the wall
      next to your computer: it's a very short summary of most of
      the things you'll want to do with
      <application>Ximian Evolution</application>.
   </para>

<!--  Put this in a note somewhere
  <para>
    Menus in <application>Evolution</application> are
    context-sensitive, which means that they vary depending on what
    you're doing.  If you're reading your mail, you'll have
    mail-related menus; for your calendar, you'll have
    calendar-related menu items.  Some menus, of course, like
    <guimenu>Help</guimenu> and <guimenu>File</guimenu> don't much, if
    at all, because they have more universal functions.  But you'd
    never mark an address card as "read," or set the recurrence for an
    email message you've recieved. depending on whether you're looking
    at mail, contacts, or calendar information.
