Do you have evolution-plugins-experimental installed?

No.. Now it works. Thanks.
Will the experimental plugins become part of the standard evolution package some day?

upstream classified the plugin as experimental that's why it's installed there, they will likely move it to the standard set though

I'll try this when I get home, sorry I got work/classes so I'm away
from my machine until about 8pm.

Sorry! I forgot my home computer wasn't the only computer I have Gutsy
installed on. I installed the experimental plugins package on this PC
and I have this feature now. This is going to be in the final version
of Ubuntu, correct? Yeah this can be closed.
