Subject: Evolution no longer opens links in browser
Date: Tue, 22 May 2012 11:09:37 -0400
Package: evolution
Version: 3.2.2-1
Severity: normal

Evolution no longer opens http/https links in email.  Left clicking on a link
in an email used to open the link in iceweasel.  Now, left clicking on the link
just highlights part of the email.  This used to work as of a few days ago.
Some recent upgrade in Wheezy has broken this.

Subject: Links in plain text emails still work

I noticed that links that are in plain text emails still work in
evolution.  Most email is not plain text anymore though.
