Malformed content-type header causes infinite recursion -> crash

[Jo Shields]

A bug in Evolution (definitely present in 3.6.2 and 2.6.3, fixed in 3.6.4, status in 3.2.x unknown) causes Evolution to crash with an infinite recursion in the attachment formatting code, when attempting to view (via opening or the preview pane) any mail whose Content-type isn't in a format that Evolution expects. This can be triggered, by example, by mail sent by the SOGo groupware.

This bug is fixed by the following Evolution commit: https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?h=gnome-3-6&id=881533927325432a0bab7eabea3a1d4008b5bcff

The bug is reported upstream at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694159
