[Marc Stewart <marc.c.stewart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

Rev. 788
Ch. 3, § "Around the Evolution workspace", p. 64 (PDF p. 66)
Type: clarity

Manual has:
The message preview shows the contents of your currently selected message in the list above the preview.

Taking "the contents of your currently selected message" as the object,
this can be misread as "in the list above the preview" being where the
message is shown. Directly connecting user actions with consequences can
be made more explicit here, too.

Suggestion:
If a message is selected in this list, its contents are shown in the message preview pane below.
