Evolution fails to display (at least some) MIME messages

[Jens Bech Madsen]

Evolution fails to display at least some MIME messages. It happens with both
news messages and emails. I will attach a screenshot and the corresponding
message for testing.

I've used the file as an mbox file and it's displayed fine here.
Could you try to do this ?
Just add an account, pick the file as the mbox for the account and look
in the incoming messages. Is it displayed if you do this ?

[Jens Bech Madsen (jbmadsen)]

No, I get the same result as before.

[Jens Bech Madsen (jbmadsen)]

If I double-click the message or right-click Open the message is shown correctly
in the new window.

Please see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=278217

This report mentions TWiki notification mails and we do use TWiki so it is
likely the same issue (can't test it right now).

Ok, according to the debian bug the upstream bug for this is:
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=67496

The upstream bug report has a patch, could you try it ?
Do you know how to include the patch and rebuild a package to test ?
If not I can upload a test package somewhere.

[Jens Bech Madsen (jbmadsen)]

I'll give it a spin tomorrow when I get to work.

[Jens Bech Madsen (jbmadsen)]

It turns out I can't install some necessary devel-packages due to some libs I
have upgraded from Debian to be able to install Galeon. If you could make a
patched package, that would be great.

[Jens Bech Madsen (jbmadsen)]

This is also a problem with the version in Hoary.

[Jens Bech Madsen (jbmadsen)]

Just rebuilt evolution with the patch. It solves the problem.

Note, I've upgraded to hoary, so the version I've built is 2.1.0-0ubuntu3.

As an aside, the patch has been committed upstream for 2.0.3.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

ok, thanks!

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]
