Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: The GroupWise POA will generated emails and send the to the administrator. The email contains information about problem emails in the system. If I try to look at one email, Evolution will crash. I have the XML representation of the message. <item xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="Mail"> <id>42034E1B.AutoDomain.AutoPO1.100.1363230.1.3929.1@1:7.AutoDomain.AutoPO1.100.0.1.0.1@16</id> <container>7.AutoDomain.AutoPO1.100.0.1.0.1@16</container> <created>2005-02-04T17:27:39Z</created> <version>2</version> <modified>2005-02-04T17:28:56Z</modified> <status> <opened>1</opened> <read>1</read> </status> <msgId>42034E1B.AutoDomain.AutoPO1.200.2000018.1.17A.1</msgId> <source>received</source> <delivered>2005-02-04T17:27:39Z</delivered> <security>Normal</security> <subject>AutoDomain.AutoPO1 Error: D109 </subject> <distribution> <from> <displayName>Post Office Agent: </displayName> </from> </distribution> <options> <priority>Standard</priority> </options> <startDate>2005-02-04T17:27:39Z</startDate> </item> I'm not sure if this identifies the problem, but the following error was from the evolution window. camel-ERROR **: file camel-internet-address.c: line 459 (camel_internet_address_encode_address): assertion failed: (addr) aborting... Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Select the message. 2. Evoultion pops up a window saying that it has crashed an ask the user to restart. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: How often does this happen? Every time the message is selected. Additional Information: It would be hard to change the format of the message from the POA. It would be better if evolution could handle the message.
the crash is because there is no e-mail id in the distribution. Just having a name and no e-mail id in "from" doesnt seem quite right to me.
The message is not meant to be replied to. There is no one to send a message to. It is just from the POA itself. It is not from a user.
