DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly introduces the evolution command. Evolution
is a graphical groupware suite, a single application for reading and

lists and memos. It is written for the GNOME graphical desktop.
An optional MAILTO expression can be specified, typically invoked from
another application. An example MAILTO expression is `mailto:user‐
name@example.com`. This will open a new composer window with an empty

suppported, but should conform to RFC 2368.
