Well, I'm trying out Ximian Evolution. I use Thunderbird under OSX and
on my PC laptop for email and have installed it under YDL, but for some
reason I can't get it accepted as my 'default' for mailto: links. I'm
pretty sure Evolution is in the pull down menu as a preferred
application and since it also syncs data from my Visor I think I'll
probably go with Evolution. 

What other Gnome program is there comparable to the JPilot/Palm desktop?
I thought GPilot was such but it seems to be simply a mechanism to sync
data which can then be used by other apps. Is that correct? 

I like to play with Tagzilla in Thunderbird. Is there a tagline
extension for Evol?
