Evolution Message Summary View

[William Bloom]

Good to hear that this isn't unique to me, but I have to correct
myself.  Experimenting further, I find that it's not quite true that
switching to -any- view triggers the oddness.  For example, switching
from the inbox to the tasks view and back seems to not be a problem. 
Ditto for the contacts view.  In my case, though, since I've only have a
couple of hours flight time with Evolution, I've not yet defined any
tasks or contacts so these views are empty, anyway.
