[Bug 82083] evolution hangs on big multipart attachments

[rashudo]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Recently I've received a large multi-part e-mail message with a big
attachment. There are 6 e-mails with about 10 MB of data each. When i
open the first one, the application freezes up, displaying the
"formatting messages" text.

Even after waiting for over an hour, the application is still not ready
processing the e-mails. It's a big problem for me, because Evolution
opens this specific e-mail whenever i start Evolution, so i can't use
Evolution for anything anymore, it just freezes up and that's it.

I'm using a fresh install of Ubuntu Edgy Eft with the latest version of
Evolution (i do daily updates).
