Evolution 2.22.3 will give up rendering after trying for some time and display a warning: "Evolution cannot render this email as it is too large to handle. You can view it unformatted or with an external text editor."
You can create a simple test file with perl -e 'print "\n"x1000000' > /tmp/evil.txt The upstream bug is about evolution honoring "Content-Disposition: inline" for attachments. There are several issues here: * there is no option to ignore content-disposition:inline to prevent harmful attachments from displaying automatically (#229013) * rendering texts uses too much memory and cpu (1mb newlines => 50% ram) * after displaying the warning evolution continues to consume memory and does not free it until program exits -- evolution chokes when a large txt file is in attachment https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/21178 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
