Output in the console window:
(evolution-2.4:24797): camel-CRITICAL **: camel_object_is: assertion `o != NULL'
failed

camel-ERROR **: file camel-internet-address.c: line 331
(camel_internet_address_get): assertion failed: (CAMEL_IS_INTERNET_ADDRESS(addr))

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.


The e-mail source will be attached after posting the bug.

Other information:
This was popped off gmail.

What's crashing is that the 'from' address in the message structure becomes NULL
somewhere along the way, and this eventually gets passed to
camel_internet_address_get. camel_internet_address_get tries to asser that addr
is a valid camel internet address, and fails due to addr=0x0. This addr is
supposed to be the 'from' address at this point.

In this message, there are 2 'From:' headers. One has an e-mail address with
valid syntax, the other (which comes later) has nothing after it.

e-mail source that caused Evolution to crash

If you load this into an existing folder (either a newly created one with only
this message or append it to one with messages already in it), it will show up.
Then, after viewing it, Evolution will crash. It seems the whole message (or at
least most of it) is necessary to crash Evolution.
Comment 2 Nathan Owens 2005-07-25 00:47:33 UTC 
Oh, one other thing. This crash has been happening since May 2005. I'm using
some of the latest stuff from CVS (at least from July 18, 2005) and it's still
crashing. I don't know enough about the mailer component (or e-mail formatting),
or I'd try to create a patch for it myself.
Comment 3 Not Zed 2005-07-28 02:16:22 UTC 
workaround: turn off the setting "load images if sender in addressbook"
