Evolution discards mail composed and sent when net connection down (gnome 2.8, evolution 2)

[Sam Lawrance]

Hi everyone, I'm not on the list so please CC me (unless you want to
snicker behind my back :)

This may be bogus, as the gnome upgrade script didn't finish and I ended
up portupgrading stuff manually here and there. Luckily it should be
simple enough to verify or disprove.

If I compose and hit send in Evolution when my dialup is down, the
message disappears. It doesn't end up in the outbox (as previously), nor
the Sent folder.

Can someone confirm?
