According to http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21631, this bug
was fixed a long time ago. I'm not sure if these fixes are included in
the woody stable release (1.0.5-1), but they should be in the current
testing version (2.0.3-1.1).
Should this be closed?

Hi!

A long time ago you submitted a bug related to evolution:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=197103

Can you still reproduce this bug with version 2.0.3 (latest in Sarge and
Sid) ?

Thanks!

PS: Has the author asked you to through all the bugs submitted on
evolution or is this some automated script which does a bug-ping?

Very similiar text has to come to me for another bug.

Hola Anand Kumria!

Ok, thanks.

It's semi automatic.  I'm going through all the bugs in Evolution.  The
ones I can easily reproduce, I check them myself, the ones that are not so
easy to reproduce, I ask the submitter to do it.

The fact is that a lot of bugs in the Evolution package were fixed with the
upgrade of the version and I'm trying to leave open only the ones that are
still present.

Thanks.

The problem is still present in evolution 2.10.2-1.

It appears from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425973 that
2.10 hardcoded the paper size to A4 (!).

That bug and, more specifically,
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426816, claim that the
necessary fixes have already been committed.

This is a real nuisance, since it means I can't print my mail (one
printer rejects it; another cuts off the top and bottom if I attempt to
force it).

Hey,

looking at upstream bugzilla, it seems that this bug is either fixed,
either non relevant anymore (because printing has changed too much now).
Could you update us on the issue on 2.30?

Cheers,
