Other information: I'll add the mail in question as an attachment. It might be malformed because it's a postfix notice that it can't forward a mail due to an mail format error... ;) Anyway I don't think that Evolution should crash. I'm running Gentoo Linux stable, which is why I'm using version 2.0.4 which is marked stable in Gentoo. If this bug does not appear in newer versions, I'm sorry eating up your precious time.
