All sgml files replaced with xml files. XML files validated. Two new XML
2002-11-04 Aaron Weber <aaron@ximian.com> * C/*.sgml: All sgml files replaced with xml files. XML files validated. Two new XML files added: apx-fdl.xml and legal.xml * C/evolution-C.omf: Altered to fit the GDP template. This may now work with the GNOME 2.0 DTD, although I could be wrong. * sgmldocs.make: removed and replaced with xmldocs.make. This will break all translations until they are also ported to XML. I will probably begin doing that tomorrow, since it's just markup and not language stuff. * C/Makefile.am: added two files to the list. Does this Makefile get included in another, somewhere, or is it just detected? svn path=/trunk/; revision=18538

+ <term>Evolution Settings Interface</term>
+ <listitem>

+ select
+ <menuchoice>
+ <guimenu>
+ Tools
+ </guimenu>
+ <guimenuitem>

+ <listitem>
+ <para>

+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Mail Composer HTML Improvements</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Pasting into the mail composer from another message
+ or from a web page preserves the HTML formatting of
+ the source document. Multiple levels of reply
+ quotation in messages are clearer and use a vertical
+ blue line on the left side to indicate quotation. Text
+ "smileys" are now automatically converted to small
+ images displaying the appropriate emotion. You can
+ turn this option off in the
+ <guilabel>Composer</guilabel> section of the Settings
+ dialog.

+ <term>Keyboard Navigation Overhaul</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ All unmodified letter keys have changed function-- the
+ <keycap>N</keycap> and <keycap>P</keycap> keys, for
+ example, no longer take you to the next you to the
+ next or previous message. Pressing a letter will now
+ take you to the nearest message whose data in the sort
+ column begins with that letter. That is, if you press
+ N and you are sorting your list by sender, you will
+ move to a message from Nadine. If you are sorting by
+ subject, you'll move to the message about
+ nectarines. This should also work in the folder list
+ for folder navigation.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ This means that the old single letter shortcuts have
+ changed as well. The new shortcuts:
+ <simplelist>
+ <member>
+ <keycap>,</keycap> (comma) and <keycap>.</keycap>
+ (period) are now the keyboard shortcuts for Next
+ and Previous unread messages. You can also use the
+ square brackets <keycap>]</keycap> and
+ <keycap>[</keycap>.
+ </member>
+ <member>
+ <keycap>`</keycap> (backtick) toggles
+ the message preview pane.

+ Shortcuts that use the <keycap>Control</keycap> key
+ have not changed.

+ the right of the button, you will find a menu that
