Hi, evolution doesn't usually show text attachments inline on its own, there's a "flag" in the message headers which tells the client to do so. Nonetheless, it depends on the version of the Evolution you use, there can be a problem with the text-highlight module, eventually the issue related to this bug (and couple other): https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733877 I'm not going to paste here links for all possible/related bugs, there are plenty of them filled and fixed within the latest 3.18.1 stable release of the Evolution. Some are only "fixed" (call it workaround), like the above bug link, you can still get to the state of the "slow view of the attachment", but not that easily in usual cases like before, only after you manually click the attachment to be viewed.

I get the same problem on CentOS 7 with Evolution 3.8.5. Notices sent from environment monitoring with 3 text attachments cause evolution to freeze for ~ 4 minutes. I tried running with debugging turned on and with strace but didn't get any more clues.

[Evolution] Messages with large text attachments bog Evolution down
Yesterday a customer sent me an email with a long (400kB) text file attached. Clicking on the mail seriously bogs Evolution down -- I believe that Evolution is trying to display the text attachment inline, and that rather than doing it by whatever chunk is visible, it's trying to suck the whole thing into memory, then format it, etc., before showing it. It's a severe problem. I had the guy trained not to do that but to send zip files, but he's back-slid, and I don't like asking customers to change their ways just because my email client acts oddly sometimes. Is there a way to tell Evolution to NOT automagically expand text attachments by default? TIA. -- Tim Wescott www.wescottdesign.com Control & Communications systems, circuit & software design.
