I know all the traffic has been on the 2.0 release, but I and some of my users are seeing a strange problem in the 1.4.5 release of Evolution that comes with RHEL 3, and I'm hoping someone here can shed some light.
Every so often Evo seems to split an incoming message in two. The symptoms are usually a message with the bottom half missing, sometimes right after the headers, sometimes further into the body, and a second message in my inbox with no subject, no sender, and no date in the message listing pane, and when I display it it invariably looks like the tail end of some other message. Evo is apparently splitting a single incoming e-mail at some inappropriate point and turning it into two separate messages in the message list. In my case, most of these messages seem to be mailing list messages which I have filtered into separate folders, with the top part of a message going to a folder and the remainder ending up as a "no subject" message in my inbox, so I don't always know if they would show up sequentially in an inbox otherwise. Mail here is delivered locally to a mailhub machine whose /var/spool/mail directory is NFS mounted to clients like mine. I have my evo mail account set up with a server type set as "Local Delivery", meaning evo periodically checks the NFS mounted spool directory and moves any messages found there to my inbox under ~/evolution/local. I mention this since it seems the likely place for where the process might be broken. I understand that 1.4.5 has just recently been eclipsed, but maybe someone could confirm my observations or suggest a workaround, or maybe someone has found that this is still an issue in 2.0.
