Description Oskar Berggren 2006-02-17 12:51:02 UTC

Please describe the problem:
Attached is a mail message that when read in evolution makes the
process use 100% cpu and seemingly never finish. This seems to be
a rendering problem, see stack trace below.

The message is probably pretty stupid. It contains lots of nested
tables that seem to be entirely useless. I don't know if the tables
are the problem though.

This happens every time I try to read the e-mail, and the application
becomes useless at this point. My only way out so far has been to
delete the message file directly from the IMAP server.

Program received signal SIGTSTP, Stopped (user).
