huge memory leak in evolution

Please don't bump the settings, they are a tools for the maintainers. Your bug
doesn't happen to everybody, your changes are not adapted

Thanks for your bug. What version of evolution/ubuntu do you use? Is that issue
reproducible? What is the process doing that according to top?

The version of evolution is 2.4.1. The version of ubuntu is breezy bager 5.10. The issue is reproducible. Write an email to a non-existing email adress on an existing server for example <email address hidden> . Attach a large Document to that email for example the "Getting Started" pdf manual of Open Office (has about 5.6MB). The server will return a message, that the recipient is not known together with a copy of the sent message in plain text. If this message is activated and opened in the preview window, memory consumption explodes.

Do you have the same issue if you open the mail from the "sent" box?

Hi Sebastien,

no because in the sent box the appendix is still recognized as
an pdf file. Therefore the content of the file is not displayed.

If the email returns from the server because of the wrong name of the
receipient, the content is shown like this:

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=0100GS-GettingStarted.pdf
Content-Type: application/pdf; name=0100GS-GettingStarted.pdf

When that email is opened in the preview box, the memory consumption
goes up about 500MB. The size of the mail is 7,6MB.

Hope I was abble to help you and thanks for your response,

Joe

Do you have the same issue from the sent box with that mail? That could be an issue from your mail server, when sending a PDF to a wrong email the mail sent back has the pdf as an attachment here and not as some text

do you still have that issue with dapper?

Yes, still the case.

Could you reply to the question about the sent box? Could you try with edgy?

As described in the previous comments, your report lacks the information we need to investigate the problem further. We'll close this report for now - please reopen it if you can give us the missing information.
