I believe this bug happens to me too.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open any email from site homeexchange.com
2. Evolution crashes

Doesn't crash if html preview is off.

Happens in 14.04.3 (evolution version: 3.10.4).

14.04 is an LTS, it should have an Evolution version without such a deal
breaker bug!


Chat session on irc with some of the Evolution developers:

(10:37:48) wildOscar: hi. the emails I receive from a particular service always 
crash my evolution. how can I report this without showing sensitive information 
in the email?
(10:38:26) wildOscar: it's basically every email I receive from them 
(homeexchange), brings evolution to its knees and then to the ground
(10:42:37) andre: 
https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/Bugzilla/GettingTraces
(10:42:50) andre: and then check the stacktrace output for email addresses and 
such
(11:02:24) andre: wildOscar, ^
(11:06:45) wildOscar: thanks andre
(11:06:53) wildOscar: I tried running it via gdb
(11:06:56) wildOscar: and got this: 
https://gist.github.com/mmalmeida/72927b44142673f8c883
(11:07:38) wildOscar: looks very gibberish, except for the first few lines. is 
this helpful in any way?
(11:11:13) mcrha: hi wildOscar, partly useful. What is the evo version? I 
suggest to disable loading remote images (Edit->Preferences->Mail 
Preferences->HTML Messages tab)
(11:11:23) mcrha: it crashed when evo was loading those remote images
(11:12:04) wildOscar: mcrha: it's 3.10.4 (the one included in ubuntu lts 14.04)
(11:12:31) mcrha: ah, then it makes sense (an ancient version)
(11:13:18) mcrha: the only way to avoid the crashes is to disable image loading 
for you (or update, but you've the LTS for a reason...)
