This was another MeeGo feature. MeeGo is dead, the code is starting to
bit rot and crashes on startup, the original author disappeared and the
remaining developers are not interested in maintaining it. So it's out.
The evolution-settings capplet was originally designed for Anjal, it was
used in MeeGo as part of the Express Mode effort, but doesn't really fit
in GNOME 3 nowadays (nor did it really fit in GNOME 2, in my opinion).
This is pretty clearly dead weight at this point. The MeeGo developers
have disappeared, and the remaining Evolution developers are not and do
not intend to maintain it. Plus it doesn't even build currently.
AFAICT, this key does nothing useful and only confuses me every time I
read the EShell migration code.
The "version" key records the most recently used Evolution version.
That's all we need for migration. And since downgrading Evolution is
not supported, we can assume this value will only increase over time.
All mail-parsing and formatting code has been moved to em-format.
Parsing is handeled by EMailParser class, formatting by EMailFormatter.
Both classes have registry which hold extensions - simple classes
that do actual parsing and formatting. Each supported mime-type
has it's own parser and formatter extension class.

Add a --with-capplet configure switch defaulting to 'no'. The capplet
will eventually be removed unless I see someone actively maintaining it.
- Don't use the term "eplugin" for modules.
- Use the term "plugin" instead of "eplugin" for plugins.
- Split SpamAssassin settings into a separate schema.
