Sadly as I said in the initial report, I can't find any pattern/way to reproduce
the problem. It happens at random, no matter if I use Control+C or right-click
or Control+Insert (which is what I use most), and no matter what application the
text has been 'copied' from. The only thing that is sure, is that once it has
done it once, it will not stop doing it, until I close Evolution, and things
will be back to normal once Evolution is re-started. I guess I could use 'trace'
to see what's going on when I hit 'reply', but it would probably result in a
50MB log file...too much to be useful :o(

Fair enough ! I shall do the same then, and just wait for the next Colony CD,
which I guess Colin will release as soon as Xorg has settled a bit...
