Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

When I view mail with following problem MIME format, EVOLUTION will be using all memory space & hang. If view as mail source, it has no problem. When I delete the BIG5 chars, it has no problem. When mail declare as "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1;", even mail contains BIG5 chars, it has no problem too. Is this the gtkhtml prolem? Not only the BIG5 chars, GB2312 also. This won't be happen when using Thunderbird.
