1. Create a Search Folder which filters on unread messages.
2. Open and read one of those messages, then close it
3. Open it again (it's still there in the list)
4. You get a completely blank message window

This is similar to the previously fixed bug #467892.

Thanks for a bug report. I think this got fixed in time for 3.2.3, but I'm not sure. What is your current evolution version, please? (Help->About)

Actually, 3.12.1 also suffers of a similar issue, but instead of keeping the window empty, it is immediately closed, thus it just flashes.

Steps:
a) select a folder with messages
b) mark one message unread
c) change folder's filter to Show: Unread Messages
d) mark the message as read
e) double-click the message

Instead of showing the message in a separate window, the window only flashes and closes immediately on its own.

When fixing this, I also got the state where the window's title bar showed message's subject, but the content was empty, just like Ciaran's issue. It is fixed together with the "added" issue.
