Corrupted mail saved as mbox from Evolution

Some mails are downloaded completely corrupted.

I've experienced this with a GMail (Google) account integrated from GNOME Online Accounts and also from a custom IMAP account.

The description of the specific criteria of the broken mails is unclear to me.

Reproduced with Evo 3.18.5.1 in Debian Testing

Thanks for a bug report. I believe what you face is bug #761096, thus I mark this as a duplicate of it. Please see it for more detailed description of the problem. Unfortunately, the fix was released only as part of the 3.20.0 and later versions, not in the 3.18.x series. You might want to ask the Debian maintainers to backport those patches into the evolution-data-server package (yes, there were more than one commits involved).

This seems to be working in 3.20.3-1 in Debian Testing.

Thanks!
