Bug Description

Attached is an email I get from a cron job I run for updating my debmirror. After upgrading to evolution 3.1 (currently still present on 3.1.5-0ubuntu2), whenever I access this email (and the other daily debmirror emails), either message preview stops working until I restart evolution or evolution crashes.

Steps to reproduce:
1. install evolution and make sure message previews are enabled
2. import the attached into a local folder
3. in the message list for this local folder, go back and forth between this email and another in the local folder
4. go to this email and use the scrollbar in the message preview window and scroll up and down several times. This may cause evolution to crash.

The problem seems exacerbated when accessing the email over imap for some reason. This does not happen every time, but is pretty easy to reproduce nonetheless (eg, do the above steps a few times).
