E-mail (pre)view hangs and flashes on encrypted messages

Thanks for your report, can you tell us a few steps in order to trigger the bug? That works fine in my evolution installed on a hardy system. thanks.

Ok, this reproduces the bug for me:

1. Open Evolution
2. Open the folder with the email
3. Click on the email
4. Enter your passphrase; Evolution asks twice for some reason
5. Watch the email-preview flash and the preview window is stuck with this flashing no matter what I click on.
6. killall evolution or similar because it wont close itself properly.. :)

Tried to strace it and grep away all the stuff evolution does in the background, but didnt really reveal anything to me at least (Evolution does a massive amount of polling in the background though, that cant be good for the batterylife :p)

Anything else I can provide to help you guys?

Ok, tried do open the mail as well now in a seperate window, and it acts the same way as the preview, so it has to be something in email-rendering in general

Do you still get the issue? Is there anything listed in .xsession-errors?

Yeah, still got it.

No, nothing in .xsession-errors, sorry.

Here is a video of the bug, only the blinking is much faster (slow fps) - http://home.samfundet.no/~klette/evolution-bug.ogg

Still an issue with latest packages on hardy RC?

> Still an issue with latest packages on hardy RC?

I'm afraid so. One more piece of information, the "Decrypting message
(100% complete)" wont close. Evolution uses 100% cpu while trying to
decrypt it.

I did a bit more debugging now, and it seems that the email i
questioning is a bit garbled. It has its original message at the top
(the encrypted part), then several other various emails stuck to it at
the bottom, with headers, attachments as inline text and so forth. A
mess =)

Could it be that evolution tries to decrypt everything in the email?
mutt seems to handle the email pretty well, it decrypts the message at
the top, marks the end of the pgp-encrypted part and just prints out the
other mess at the bottom.

My evolution seems to be handling new, proper encrypted emails just
fine :)

Let me know if there is any other info I can give you that might help.
