It's always fun when you post a bug and developers follow up on it. It's exciting. You feel like you are helping to make an open source project better. So, imagine my surprise when I recieved an email today about an Evolution bug I posted two years ago!
I suppose, in all fairness, it wasn't a "bug" so much as a feature request. I didn't like the way Evolution's interface handles account name headers in the folder tree. At the time, I found it really annoying, so it seemed like a bug. Funny how I don't find it annoying anymore--probably because I quit using Evolution.
Thanks to the open source process, I could contribute. Thanks to developers being in short supply, I didn't get what I wanted. But hey, maybe they'll fix it one day and I'll have that satisfied feeling. I might even start using Evolution again. Although, I hear Thunderbird is very good.
