huge-inline.patch

Text attachments about +200KB can make webkit crawl. Even larger ones (it's not uncommon to have 1-2 MB text logs in corporate settings) will freeze it for like a minute.

This patch attempts to fix it, stopping webkit from rendering any text attachments large than an hard coded limit. This is scratching my own itch. I'm not familiar with evolution enough to make good patches. But hopefully you guys can do something about this.

Sorry I can't verify if this bug still exists on latest evolution. I'm stuck with 3.12.11 on OpenSuSE.

Thanks for the bug report and the patch. I prefer to not do any such thing, thus I'm rejecting it. Please see the other bug for a better solution (at least for attachments).
