Comment 8 for bug 445435

This confirmed for Karmic up-to-date; I was experiencing this since I updated, and thought it might be attachments. Confirmed that the .tif file above when sent from Karmic Thunderbird (on another machine) crashes it everytime with "Formating..." in the status bar. It worked okay when I used my gmail via browser, which was a bit of a false positive.

My setup is IMAP, so I was able to grab the message source for both emails (gmail.txt works in evo, and thunderbird.txt crashes evo in attached tar file) from a webmail client. They have the identical attachment, the .tif file referenced above with slightly different formatting, header, content and addresses.

This test creates a repeatable scenario, however the hanging is persistent in various emails in my INBOX forcing me to find another client in the interim for dealing with attachments, and turning off my preview pane to avoid accidental crashes. IHMO the priority should be raised accordingly if Evolution wants to remain a major Karmic email client.
