      In the dark ages before email was invented, there were little
      scraps of people which people used for short-term information
      storage.  These scraps of paper were called notes.  Now, notes
      are an almost necessary part of our lives, albeit in electronic
      form.  It only makes sense, then, that
      <application>Evolution</application> will eventually have a
      Notes feature.  <application>Evolution</application> can help
      you take notes in the following ways:

     You can start writing notes by clicking
     <guibutton>Notes</guibutton> in the shortcut bar.  Of course,
     it's not there yet. But when it is, it'll take you to the
     notepad.
