Description Charles Profitt 2011-10-18 21:33:26 UTC 
Version Information:
Evolution 3.2.0
Ubuntu 11.10 64bit

expected:
When clicking the forward button the email message should close and a new message (with the original forwarded) should appear.

actual:
When trying to forward an email the forward button results in the message being closed, but no forward message being created.

Error when evolution is run from CL:

(evolution:2231): evolution-shell-CRITICAL **: e_shell_backend_get_shell: assertion `E_IS_SHELL_BACKEND (shell_backend)' failed
Comment 1 Charles Profitt 2011-10-18 23:23:16 UTC 
If the preference to close the message window is set to 'ask' or 'never' the problem is not present. This is only an issue if 'always' is chosen.
Comment 2 Charles Profitt 2011-10-19 00:01:55 UTC 
This has been reported in Fedora as well.

btw.. how does one unset the preference to close the message window?  I confirmed this in not in current Ubuntu 3.2.1-0ubuntu1, but now I wan't to revert my selection.
