and as you can see, that bug has been fixed.

The problematic line is 172:

  171) #529382  evolution: Cannot open URL in email message
  172) #529539  evolution-common: scrollkeeper complains ‘namespace
error : colon are forbidden from PI names’
  173) #530229  evolution: Wrong usage of From: address

I tried on my machine (unstable with reportbug v4.5) and it works
fine: it would be extra-cool if you could take reportbug from
unstable, install it on your machine (I know, there are some other
packages to take too) and confirm it's fixed.

Cheers,
