As of Ubuntu 17.04 opening emails with ICS/VCALENDAR attachments in Evolution appears to work just fine. Apparently this problem is solved.

This has happened with ICS/VCALENDAR files from various sources. After digging the web I had found one case where german "umlauts" (maybe non-ascii characters) would cause the crash. As my last name contains such a character I have prepared an ICS file and removed all possible offending characters and made a new test which resulted in the same crash as before. I have attached the (anonymized) offending ICS file used for reproducing the bug.
