Description of problem: Evolution doesn't display some HTML messages, that outlook sends out. Multipart messages in MIME format, that is. This is in Fedora Core 3 (rawhide latest, before the fc4 push so is fc3) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.0.2-3.ppc gtkhtml3-3.3.2-3.ppc How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on e-mail message that has multipart mime Actual results: Nothing is displayed - seems like emtpy message Expected results: Message is displayed Additional info: This is really bug #136298, but its HTML spammed so badly, its hard for anyone to even want to reply. I've attached the output of the exact email (via viewing the email source) to this Including gtkhtml versions as it might be caused by Owen patched ones, as opposed to whats upstream. Probably happens on x86 too, but I dont have test cases
Created attachment 106255 [details] fedora-devel-list post that i first noticed this bug in
Created attachment 106256 [details] attachment from bug #136298 which repeats this issue
Created attachment 106258 [details] Another one on f-d-l that doesn't allow me to see it in evo Its completely HTML this time, not even multi-part mime stuff...

Restarting Evolution (taking on jeremy's advice) seems to "fix" the issue. But it comes and goes... and according to him he's also seen it on x86, so I'm going to change this to platform All now.

I can confirm this on a FC3 (2.6.10-1.9) x86 with evolution-2.0.2-3.i836. Doing an evolution force-shutdown, and starting evolution again seems to fix it. But after a while the problem returns.
Has anyone been seeing this with the evolution-2.1.* and gtkthml 3.5.* packages?
This seems to be resolved in evo 2.1.5 and gtkhtml 3.5.6. I have noticed that I only see this issue when looking at mail in imap folders with evo 2.0.3 and gtkhtml 3.2.4.
evolution-2.2.1.1-2.i386 and gtkhtml3-3.6.1-1.i386 seem to make this bug disappear; i.e. I haven't noticed it happening to me in a while. If I don't see complaints for a little longer, closing RAWHIDE...
I've occasionally seen these symptoms in recent packages (e.g. evolution 2.3 and gtkhtml 3.7), so I'm going to keep this open (but moving from FC4 to FC5), since it would be good to fix this.

This bug has been lingering for quite awhile. Are these symptoms still present in the latest evolution and gtkhtml packages? $ rpm -q evolution gtkhtml3 evolution-2.7.3-9 gtkhtml3-3.11.3-1
I can't confirm that this behavior is still present in current Rawhide packages. Since this bug is approaching its 2nd birthday and has seen little activity since last year, I'm going to close it and wait for someone to report the problem again. evolution-2.7.91-1.test.3 gtkhtml3-3.11.91-1
