Hi!

        I made a fresh install of Fedora 18 and I don't have any
problems when I run Evolution under KDE.  Also, I used to work with Mate
Desktop and it hasn't problems neither.

Hope this helps,
Lailah

Evolution used to work just as you describe till shortly after the
system was upgraded to F-18, then the popup you describe stopped
appearing, and sending became impossible.

Evolution version is 3.6.3.  BTW: the function of the mouse buttons has
just changed, I think with this version.  In particular a left click on
the scrollbar causes a &quot;scroll to here&quot;, where before it caused a scroll
up or down by a half page.  Do you see this new behavior?
