hi david, again thanks for taking the time to report this, and again there has been a *lot* of work to fix memory leaks in the 2.3.x development series. could you please check this again with the latest 2.4.x version of evolution? setting to NEEDINFO, please reopen when adding more information. thanks in advance.
This *was* an issue with gtkhtml, which has been fixed in the current version of the gtkhtml release. So upgrading should really fix this problem. Thanks for the bug report. Cheers.
