+  <para>
+    This section will serve as a reference for every capability that
+    <application>Evolution</application> has.  When menu items are
+    repeated in <application>Evolution</application>, they're repeated
+    here too.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    From left to right, the menus available to you when you are
+    reading mail are: <guimenu>File</guimenu>,
+    <guimenu>Edit</guimenu>, <guimenu>View</guimenu>,
+    <guimenu>Tools</guimenu>, <guimenu>Actions</guimenu>, and
+    <guimenu>Help</guimenu>.  The last of these doesn't change, but
+    the rest of them have contents that will change depending on
+    whether you're looking at mail, contacts, or calendar information.
+    In addition, the editor tools for messages, appointments, and
+    contacts all have menu bars.

+      The <guimenu>File</guimenu> and <guimenu>Help</guimenu> menus in
+      the main <application>Evolution</application> window do not
+      change, because they refer to universal items.  Other menus have
+      contents that change depending on context.
