OK... when I first filed the bug about inconsistancies
in keywords and categories, I was having BOTH fields
showing up in the WebUI. That led me to believe that
they were different items, used for different
purposes.   

In Outlook, these items are called "Categories".  What
are they called in Evo?

Internally, they may be stored in differently named
fields, but for the sanity of the end-users, we should
standardize on one or the other.

Categories or Keywords... what say you, folks?
