Comment 1 André Klapper 2006-11-27 17:33:27 UTC

Hi Eric,

   when it is the Mailer component crashing, a common cause is a
   particular mail that crashes while being rendered. To prevent
   rendering of the mail, you can disable the preview pane and set the
   message display to 'source', which will display the raw message.

   Disable the preview pane:
   $ gconftool-2 --set /apps/evolution/mail/display/show_preview --type bool 0
