Chris,

Thanks for the reply.

That's the way I'm running Evolution and I'm getting a steady stream of
a variety of messages, the meaning of which is unknown to me. But the
most recurrent is "unable to resolve host name", which makes no sense to
me since I'm having no trouble accessing whatever URL I please on the
net.
