Open big text attach file automatically.
Last modified: 2012-06-26 18:49:05 UTC
Please describe the problem: When a email have a big text attach file, such as 4M, after I clicked this email, evolution will open it automatically, because this file is big, it become very slow, the loading is not finished for a long time, the machine become very slow. I hope evolution will not open big attach file automatically. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
*the sender* decides whether an attachment is displayed automatically or not, so this is not an evolution setting - slap the sender for doing this. ;-)
Do I need to report this bug again to "sender"? I hope you can fix this bug as soon as possible, I can't use evolution at all now, when I open evolution is will open that email automatically, then I can do nothing. I am waiting the new version in a hurry.
huzheng: for future reference, you can ask the sender to not set "display attachment automatically". to get evolution working again, please disable the preview pane: $ gconftool-2 --set /apps/evolution/mail/display/show_preview --type bool 0 so you can start evolution and go to another message. hope this helps, andre
Thank you very much! I deleted that email. In fact, I think this is not only the open automatically's problem, what will happen when user choose to open it manually? This will freeze evolution too. I think it is better to improve evolution to only show the head of a big text file when open it, just like "more".
