Description Karsten Bräckelmann 2008-06-12 13:24:09 UTC 
Evolution does not show *any* headers, if the From: header Address is empty. Actually, the entire header block in the message view is dropped all together.

Example headers from a recent spam wave:

Date: Thu, 05 Jun 2008 23:45:19 +0100
From: "Damian" <>
To: "Sandy" <x.xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx>
Subject: D'u want to have perfect sex all night long?


The body will be shown just fine. The headers are missing entirely. Please note, that the list view indeed does show all these headers.

I have not had a look at the camel-stream, but I assume that the From: header either  (a) makes generating the header block HTML fail, or  (b) results in invalid HTML which GtkHTML burps on later.

Possibly related to bug 537988.

It's (a). Fixed by the patch supplied for bug #537088 (see: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=115691&action=view ).

This bug could be closed as a duplicate (which I am somehow not allowed to do.)
