Hard to blame you, after skimming through those!

It seems I spoke too soon when I said that there's no problem when using 
the Human theme - it's still happening, but not every time.  When I get a 
core dump and look at the call history, it's variously in a cairo or 
murrine library when it dies, so it's not certain that it's a problem 
with evolution proper.

When a jpeg file is attached to an email, a thumbnail image is rendered 
in the attachment area, and it looks like it's going off in the weeds 
trying to draw the thumbnail or the associated progress bar.

Anyway, it looks like I'm only talking to myself submitting comments on 
bug 393534.  Maybe I should submit a new report, since 393534 concerned a 
pdf attachment rather than a jpeg.  Hard to believe I'm the only beta 
tester experiencing the problem.

Thanks anyway though!

Steve
