Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.28.3-21.1.el6 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. view message whose text part is larger than set in Edit->Preferences->Mail Preferences->Do not format messages when text size exceeds 2. Click "Open With" Actual results: nothing happens Expected results: External text editor opens the message text
Created attachment 486659 [details] proposed patch for evolution; This may help, on the first look. Could you give it a try with a test package [1], please? The intention of that button is to give you a popup menu of application which can process the "too long" part. This popup menu is shown when you left or right-click on the "Open with" button.

When I left or right-click on the "Open with" button popup menu is shown with two options - "Save As..." and "Open in gedit..." Not sure what should be the right behavior but I would suspect that the left click opens gedit, right click opens popup menu. Also the button doesn't have any feedback on click/release as the rest of the buttons. Tested in evolution-2.28.3-22.1.el6.
(In reply to comment #3) > When I left or right-click on the "Open with" button popup menu is shown with > two options - "Save As..." and "Open in gedit..." Original developers meant to do that this way. Probably for cases where is no application associated for the mime type, or there is more than one. I do not know for sure. > Also the button doesn't have any feedback on click/release as the rest of the > buttons. What kind of feedback do you mean?

I mean the standard way how ui buttons acts on click event. The button change its look when you click on it to let you know that you "pushed" the button and then changes back on mouse button release. "Open with" button doesn't change on click event, it remains still.

Still valid, with 2.32.3.
I replaced the "Open With" button with standard attachment button, which has disabled inline viewwing, thus user can at least save the attachment to a disk. The old "Open With" button didn't do anything even in 3.4.0 release.
