Bug Description
A very strange one started happening a couple days ago.
When I reply to message, the composing window comes up, but sometimes, instead
of quoting the body of the mail I am replying to, it prints the content of the
clipboard !
For example, say I was browsing the web, say I have an URL or some text/words in
the clipboard. Then I try to reply to somone on the Ubuntu list, the composing
window comes up, and what do I see in it ???? Yes, I see whatver tyext or URL I
had in the clipboard, but I will not see the text of the e-mail I am trying to
reply to !! Weird.
I have noticed that Evolution has a feature whereby if I select part of the text
of an e-mail with the mouse, then "reply to" it, the composing window quotes
only the part of the message that I had selected (just selected, NOT "copied")
instead of the entire message.
So maybe Evolution is mixing things and sometimes (it happens at random, I don't
know how to trigger it), mistakes the content of the clipboard, for a genuine
text selection that the user could have high-lighted in the body of the e-mail
he is replying to.
At any rate, once it starts doing it, the only way to fix it (until it starts
again ! :-/ ) is to close evolution and restart it.
Very annoying...

Not sure if that helps, but I just noticed that when it starts doing it, it does
NOT do it if I FORWARD the message. It only does it if I "Reply" to it, in which
case it does it no matter how I open the reply-to window : menu command, toolbar
icon, right-click on the message, or keyboard short-cut.
If I select/highlight the entire message using the mouse, then "reply to", it
works normally.
