Crash trying to read HTML email

[Aldo Nogueira]

Pantheon Mail crashed whenever I tried to read the email attached in this bug report.
It's an ad for Coursera.
This attachment was obtained with Gmail web.

I marked that this also affected me, but I just wanted to add that it's on the exact same email that this crashes for me.

Happens to me too, when viewing some of the mails received from Coursera.

Pantheon Mail also crashes every time while opening Uber mail receipts.

Hello Harshit,

Would you be able to attach a censored version of that Uber recepipt?

Hi all,

I have a similar crash on a Kickstarter mail. I also a have core dump that I'd be happy to send to a dev if it helps. The mail is attached.

Happening here too (the email that crashes it is work-related, and thus not shareable). The error output I receive if I run it from the command line is:

(pantheon-mail:14733): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'pantheon-mail' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 10594 error_code 11 request_code 53 (core protocol) minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Trace/breakpoint trap

This looks like the same problem as LP:1645790.
