Description nicolas.melay 2006-09-06 02:02:16 UTC 
Distribution: Ubuntu 6.06 (dapper)
Package: Evolution
Severity: major
Version: GNOME2.14.3 2.6.x
Gnome-Distributor: Ubuntu
Synopsis: Evolution crashes with a bad command line argument
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer
Bugzilla-Version: 2.6.x
BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.14.1)
Description:
Description of the crash:
Evolution crashes when run with an improper argument on the command
line.
It should report about this wrong argument instead.

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. launch with the following command line:  /usr/bin/evolution
user@domain.com

Expected Results:
Evolution should properly sanitize its arguments, instead of crashing.

How often does this happen?
Pretty much every time I try it.

Additional Information:
Oh well, now that I've learned I need to use mailto: before the e-mail
address, I should be safe.
