GPL! * C/Makefile.am: New file: apx-gpl.xml. Re-alphabetize the files listed as entities, and make the \'s line up so it looks pretty. * C/preface.xml: redo tags for legalnotice ordering. open/close for actual preface is in evolution.xml and the LEGAL entity (legal.xml) is now part of the preface. * C/evolution.xml: reorder, add GPL, put legalnotice inside preface. Put actual <preface> tags in this file, so that the preface could consist of sect1s which are the &LEGAL; and &PREFACE; entities. svn path=/trunk/; revision=18843

All unmodified letter keys have changed function-- the

<keycap>N</keycap> and <keycap>P</keycap> keys, for

example, no longer take you to the next you to the

next or previous message. Pressing a letter will now

take you to the nearest message whose data in the sort
|

column begins with that letter. That is, if you press

N and you are sorting your list by sender, you will

|
move to a message from Nadine. If you are sorting by

subject, you'll move to the message about

nectarines. This should also work in the folder list

for folder navigation.
