Created attachment 104621 [details] Mailbox containing trigger HTML message
Thanks; I can reproduce the bug here. I've done a little more investigation, am about to dig out the source. It seems to only affect the email Preview pane for me, if I double-click on other emails to open them in separate windows, they still appear as normal for me, after viewing the attached email (both in preview mode, and as a full window). Can you verify that this is what happens for you? So I think that some state is getting set into the preview window that's breaking it permanently (until evolution is restarted). Also, having performed the various steps, I can do a Print Preview and "see" other HTML emails, but the email you attached comes out blank for me in Print Preview too.
Yes, it's just the preview pane (sorry, I forgot to say that originally).
Actually for me it's more than just the preview pane. Opening the message in its own window will sometimes work - but other times the message will not display no matter what you do. I can't find any other pattern to this behavior. It does appear to be messages that use CSS tags in particular, or sometimes messages where the HTML portion is a MIME attachment. I'm using: evolution-2.0.2-3 gtkhtml-1.1.9-10 Hope that helps some more.
Seeing the same here with current packages from rawhide. Strange thing is that I only saw it earlier today on an IMAP account, and I can't reproduce it now using my local mailstore from my pop3 account... Just some input...
(possibly related to bug #138274: see especially comment 5 of that bug)
Looks like this was fixed in evolution 2.0.3: XB67496 - html email not rendered in preview pane (Michael) Are we going ot see this as an update to FC3? -tduffy
An update to Evolution 2.0.4 has been released; this ought to fix this issue. I'm going to close this bug. Please reopen it if you're still seeing these symptoms with the latest FC3 packages.
