+ <abstract>
+ <title> An Overview of the Evolution Mailer</title>
+ <para>
+ Email is an integral part of life these days, and
+ <application>Evolution</application> mail is here to help
+ you keep track of it. <application>Evolution</application>
+ email is like other email programs in all the ways you would
+ hope: (INSERT GOOD SIMILARITIES).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ However, <application>Evolution</application> has some
+ important differences. First, it's built to handle very
+ large amounts of mail without slowing down or crashing. We
+ had high mail volumes in mind when we designed our <link
+ linkend="usage-mail-organize-filters">filtering</link> and
+ <link linkend="usage-mail-organize-search">searching</link>
+ functions. There's also the
+ <application>Evolution</application> <link
+ linkend="usage-mail-organize-vFolders">vFolder</link>, an
+ advanced organizational feature not found in other mail
+ clients. If you get a lot of mail, or if you keep every
+ message you get in case you need to refer to it later,
+ you'll find that feature especially useful.
+ </para>
+

+ You can start reading email by clicking
+ <guibutton>Inbox</guibutton> in the shortcut bar.

+ <para>
+ The first time you open your

+ <guilabel>Inbox</guilabel>, you will see a window like the
+ one in <xref linkend="usage-mail-intro-fig">, with a
+ message from Helix Code in the<interface> message
+ list</interface>. A preview of the message is displayed
+ below that, in the <interface>view pane</interface>. If
+ you find the<interface> view pane</interface> too small,
+ you can double-click on the message in the
+ <interface>message list</interface> to have it open in a
+ new window. As is the case with folders, you can
+ right-click on messages in the message list and get a
+ menu of possible actions.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Go ahead and right-click on the message, and select
+ <guimenuitem>Delete Message</guimenuitem> from the menu
+ that appears. The message will move into the
+ <guilabel>Trash</guilabel> folder. If you want to keep
+ it, you can open the <guilabel>Trash</guilabel> folder
+ and drag the message back to your
+ <guilabel>Inbox</guilabel>. The trash will be
+ automatically emptied the next time you quit
+ <application>Evolution</application>. (FEATURE
+ UNIMPLEMENTED! Text may change to fit featureset)

+ <title>Choosing Recipients</title>
+ <para>
+ If you have created address cards in the contact
+ manager, you can also enter nicknames or other portions
+ of address data, and
+ <application>Evolution</application> will complete the
+ address for you. (INSERT description of UI for this
+ feature, once it is decided upon). If you enter a name
+ or nickname that can go with more than one card,
+ Evolution will open a dialog box to ask you which person
+ you meant. (QUESTION: will users be able to drag & drop
+ address cards to send email?). For more information
+ about using email together with the contact manager and
+ the calendar, see <xref
+ linkend="usage-contact-automate"> and <xref
+ linkend="usage-calendar-apts-group">.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ In addition, you can mark recipients in three different
+ ways. The <guilabel>To:</guilabel> field is for the
+ primary recipients of the message you are going to send.
+ However, it is considered bad form to have more than a
+ few email addresses in this section.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ If you're writing to one person, but want to keep a
+ third party up to date, you can use
+ <guilabel>Cc:</guilabel>. Hearkening back to the dark
+ ages when people used typewriters and there were no copy
+ machines, "Cc" stands for "Carbon Copy." Use it
+ whenever you want to share a message you've written to
+ someone else.
+ <example>
+ <title>Using the Cc: field</title>
+ <para>
+ Say, for example, Susan sends an email to a client.
+ She puts her co-worker, Tim, in the in the
+ <guilabel>Cc:</guilabel> field, so that he know
+ what's going on. The client can see that Tim also
+ recieved the message, and know that they can talk
+ to Tim about the message as well.
+ </para>
+ </example>
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ If you have a large number of recipients, or if you want
+ to send mail to several people without sharing the
+ recipient list, you should use
+ <guilabel>BCc:</guilabel>. "BCc" stands for "Blind
+ Carbon Copy", and means that addresses in the
+ <guilabel>BCc:</guilabel> field will receive copies of
+ the message, but they will not receive the list of the
+ other recipients' addresses, nor will other recipients
+ know that they have recieved the message. When I send a
+ generic message to all my friends and I want them to
+ think I've written a personalized email to every one of
+ them, I put them all in the <guilabel>BCc:</guilabel>
+ list.

+ In order to reply to a message, click on it once in the

+ <keysym>REPLY COMBO</keysym> hot key. A window like
+ the <interface>New Message</interface> window will
+ appear, but the subject will already be present&mdash;
+ typically, your new message will have the same subject
+ as the message to which you are replying, but with Re:
+ before it, to mark it as a reply. In addition, the
+ full text of the previous message may be inserted into
+ the new message, with the &gt; character before each
+ line. This indicates quoting. You can intersperse
+ your message with the quoted material as shown in <xref
+ linkend="usage-mail-getnsend-reply-fig">

+ message.
+ <example>
+ <title>Using the Reply-To feature</title>
+ <para>
+ Returning to the previous example, the client can
+ decide whether to reply just to Susan, just to Tim,
+ or to both of them by selecting a menu item, rather
+ than by cutting and pasting the email addresses. If
+ there are large numbers of people in the Cc: fields,
+ this can save substantial amounts of time.

+ Most email messages are sent as plain text, but they

+ color, text style, and other formatting information.
+ Evolution will read and display HTML properly without
+ trouble, and also allows you to send outgoing

+ use the composition toolbar to add formatting;
+ your message text will appear formatted in the composer

+ </para>
+ <note>
+ <title>A Technical note on HTML Tags</title>
+ <para>
+ Any text, including HTML tags, entered into the
+ message composition window is assumed to be plain
+ text. If you enter HTML directly into the
+ composer&mdash; say, <markup
+ role="html">&lt;BR&gt;Bold Text&lt;/BR&gt</markup>,
+ the the composer will assume you meant exactly that,
+ and not "make this text bold," as a HTML composition
+ tool would. For the technically inclined, that
+ means that when the text <markup
+ role="html">&lt;BR&gt</markup> is sent as HTML, it
+ will be converted to the string
+ <literal>&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;</literal>.
+ </para>
+ </note>
+ <para>
+ Some people do not have HTML-capable mail clients, or
+ prefer not to receive HTML-enhanced mail because it
+ is slower to download and display. Some people refer
+ to HTML mail as "the root of all evil" and get very
+ angry if you send them HTML mail, which is why the
+ default in <application>Evolution</application> is
+ plain text. If you have an address book entry for
+ someone who does not wish to receive HTML-enhanced
+ mail, you can note that preference in their address
+ card. The mailer will automatically strip the HTML
+ tags from any messages you send to that address.

+ If you want to attach a file to your email message,

+ image inside the mail by dragging the file into the
+ composer window, or by selecting (INSERT DESCRIPTION

+ <para>
+ If you find yourself performing a search frequently, you

+ <para>
+ A vFolder looks and acts a lot like a folder, but it's

+ same ways you would a regular folder. The one important
+ differences between them is that a conventional folder
+ actually contains messages, but a vFolder is a view of
+ messages that may be in several different folders. This
+ means that while a message may fall into several vFolders,
+ it can be in only one conventional folder. Also, it means
+ that you cannot remove a message from a vFolder unless you
+ delete it, and you cannot add a message to a vFolder
+ unless you change the vFolder's search criteria.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ As messages that meet the vFolder criteria arrive or are
