+      The first screen welcomes you to the druid.  It is estimated that

+	Chances are, <application>Evolution</application> isn't your first email

+      VCard is a format to store addressbooks and contact information.  Outlook
+      handles your email.  If you're coming from
+      Windows, you're probably going to be importing Outlook Express files.  If
+      you're coming from a Unix program, you're probably using mbox.  Ask your
+      system administrator if you aren't sure which you use.

+      <title>Eudora</title>
+      <para>
+	Eudora email client uses mbox format to store mail.  So if you're coming
