Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Seems to be:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353430

May be related to:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gtkhtml3.8/+bug/26231

Import the attached into evolution, and then try to view it in the preview pane-- crash. It is a bad crash because evolution remembers that it was viewing this email, so the next time evolution is started, it tries to preview the email and crashes again. Has to be removed manually.

May be a security vulnerability since an unsolicited email can crash evolution. At the very least, it is a DoS.

I used bug buddy and also created http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364584. I updated the 'Affects Upstream' url to point to this. Please also look at:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353430

as that seems to be related.
