Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Ubuntu 9.10

$ apt-cache policy evolution
evolution:
  Installed: 2.28.1-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 2.28.1-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
*** 2.28.1-0ubuntu2 0

When opening and successfully viewing an IMAP message and then quickly closing then deleting it, a "Formatting message (...)" task stays in the status bar. Repeating causes more of these to pile up. The red "X" button does not dismiss the task. These tasks stay on the status bar indefinitely. While Evolution is perfectly responsive and able to otherwise behave normally, these tasks keep it from exiting cleanly and Evolution must be forced quit.
