We could share alot of code with Evolution, Like the Evolution's Composer
..modify it too suit Pans needs..I didnt like the Idea of dropping gtkhtml
from the code-base, things like Bonobo/GConf/libxml2 are handy and offer a
wealth of technologys but we're just using the beer minimum.

Users complain of dependacys issues, really dependacy issues arent a problem
if your distro properly supports it ...rpm-based distro's have always had
dependancy problems, but this shouldnt limit the use of other gnome-techs.
Dependancies become less of an issue if you move to GNU/Debian. And the only
time you need to rely on many dependancies would be when you're compiling
from the source...which 90% ppl wouldnt.
