Description Brent Elmer 2005-06-30 23:30:42 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When I upgraded from evolution 2.0.4 to 2.2.2 on Debian testing, some of my imap
html mail quit rendering correctly.  I had the problem going to 2.0.4 also but
setting the environment variable CAMEL_IMAP_BRAINDAMAGED took care of it. 
Having CAMEL_IMAP_BRAINDAMAGED doesn't seem to matter on 2.2.2.  I have had to
go back to 2.0.4 because it renders the mail correctly.

Steps to reproduce:
1. have evolution use imap with imap.myrealbox.com mail server
2. open html mail
3. 
 

Actual results:
some of the mail displays the raw html

Expected results:
the html to be rendered correctly

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
when I had the problem after going to 2.0.4 I entered bug report 236896

the previous bug report when going to 2.0.x was bug 271202

I have the same problem with IMAP from myrealbox.com.  KMail displays these
mails correctly, as does Outlook Express.
Comment 4 Not Zed 2005-08-02 05:23:45 UTC 
CAMEL_IMAP_BRAINDAMAGED was only put into 2.0.x for testing purposes, so it
isn't present in the newer code.

I guess it may be easiest to just add the code to newer releases.

(BTW as suggested from the environmental variable name, it is infact a bug in
the server ...)
