This is what I call a "crap shoot". I've seen TB choke on messages on numerous occasions. I haven't had Evolution, in my every-day usage with two busy IMAP accounts, have an issue displaying any message. Same is true of Horde [which is probably the most reliable IMAP client on the planet]. But I've no doubt messages exist that will make either of them weep. Is this an Exchange only issue? It sort of seems like a server-side problem; such a message shouldn't be allowed to exist. It would seem like a message without a date/from/to would have gotten kicked to the curb by the MTA [not that clients shouldn't deal with stupidity gracefully - I just think such an occurance is extremely rare]. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
