Given Evolution is open source, you would have thought it very much prone
to attack. However, open source (well, maintained open source) tends to
be quickly and simply repaired removing that problem.
A good example has been the fun and games with KDE, M$ IE and SSL. KDE
was very quickly fixed, M$ ignored it and said it was unimportant - the
fact that how to fool IE had been published, in detail, had nothing to do
with it...
