A quick comparison between http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/evolution/releases/2.30.2/1mdv2010.1/SPECS/evolution.spec?revision=548539&view=markup and http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/updates/2/evolution/current/SPECS/evolution.spec?revision=291142&view=markup shows an obvious difference (besides the version gap)

Thunderbird has a plugin available to handle TNEF - I've been struggin with Evolution for some time regarding this topic - would welcome a solution dearly so I don't have to switch away - Evolution has been my e-mail client of choice for many years now!

Cheers,

Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2013-10-22 12:10:38 CEST 
This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life.  If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
