Description alski85 2015-04-17 16:10:16 UTC 
Large CSV attachments freeze evolution completely.  The larger the CSV attachment, the longer evolution hangs for.  A 5MB csv attachment will lockup Evolution for about 40 seconds.

The preview window shows "Retrieving message" and the bottom status area reads "Parsing Message" during this time.

Evolution doesn't seem to actually crash, and running under GDB doesn't show any activity or weird looping while this is happening either.

To reproduce:
Receive an email containing a large(>5MB) .csv file
Click received message in Evolution


Please let me know what other info I can provide to track this down, it's existed for as long as I've used evolution and is a very frustrating bug.

Thank you,
Alex

Thanks for a bug report. I suppose you face bug #743926. Is the CSV attachment shown inline by default, or only after you expand it manually?
Comment 2 alski85 2015-04-20 14:52:00 UTC 
The attachments are not shown inline by default, only after I manually click View Inline from the attachment dropdown.

Please let me know what other info may be needed.

Thanks for the update. In that case, attachment not expanded (shown inline) by default, you face bug #733877 (sub-bug of the bug #743926).
