In a recent update to evolution (can't say which one in the past week or
so, but I'm pretty sure I've been able to use Ctrl-A/E/F/P with 2.0.3
before), emacs keybindings stopped working in the composer. It's a
pretty key feature for me that I'm sorely missing. What happened?

(BTW: Yes, I do have the gconf key
/desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme set to 'Emacs', and the bindings
work fine in other gnome apps and widgets).

thanks,
mike

This continues to be broken in Evo 2.2.2.  Any idea when/if it will be
fixed?

I don't know how it was 3 years ago, but for upstream related bugs,
please report them directly upstream, there's no manpower in the pkg-evo
team... :/

Sorry for that, and regards,

No problem.  It might be a good idea to include a note to that effect in
README.Debian.

Thanks
