Description Michael Catanzaro 2014-08-18 13:14:22 UTC 
I tried opening the attached mail three times, and Evolution hung each time.

Here's a backtrace from hitting Ctrl+C in gdb while it was trying to load the message.

Created attachment 283739 [details]
the mail that hangs Evolution

Probable dup of bug #724909, which I guess never got backported to 3.10.

Thanks for a bug report. You are right, this is the same issue as in the bug #724909. There exists a backport of it, but it wasn't announced anyhow. It [1] was added within [2], which also contains a workaround how make things work again (by removing the offending module). You can ask your distribution evolution maintainers to include the patch from Fedora.
