There are no current plans for such a compatibility.  I wouldn't be
opposed to it as some sort of optional thing.  It's not a high priority
for me personally, even though I do use Evolution.  The UI for it would
be a little awkward, I feel, since you would have some pad just popping
up out of nowhere.

This is an often-requested item.  I just haven't been able to come up
with any UI that I find acceptable and haven't had the time to try to
find one.  I would review patches though.
