This message comes to you from Evolution v1.4.5, and spell checking
works again - yay!

The background to my desire to use source compilation stemmed from the
issue that the latest available .deb wasn't the latest version. But with
the assistance of the the following I was able to make it work for me:

Include this in /etc/apt/apt.conf
	APT::Default-Release "testing";

Add this to /etc/apt/sources.list
        deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian unstable main contrib non-free
        deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free
        deb-src http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian unstable main non-free contrib

Run this command:
	apt-get install -t unstable evolution

This causes this error:
        dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libpisync0_0.11.8-7_i386.deb (--unpack):
         trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libpisync.so.0', which is also in package libpisock8
        Errors were encountered while processing:
         /var/cache/apt/archives/libpisync0_0.11.8-7_i386.deb

Then run this command:
	dpkg -i --force overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libpisync0_0.11.8-7_i386.deb

Then run this command (again):
	apt-get install -t unstable evolution

And all is well...

PS. This does update a lot of other stuff, such as galeon, so user
beware!

Whoo Hoo...
