I'm seeing this problem all the time with Hardy.
$ apt-cache policy evolution

Usually Evolution hangs on "Formatting Message..." several times a day, it
never recovers but I can read emails by double clicking on them. The type of
email doesn't seem to be a trigger, sometimes it's on HTML emails, sometimes on
plaintext. It's not reproducible, if evolution hangs on a message, and I kill
it with "/usr/bin/evolution --force-shutdown", and restart, I'll be able to
display the problem message just fine. I'm using Evolution to connect to my
company's Exchange server.
Anyway, I finally got annoyed enough to run it under gdb. Strangely, it
didn't hang for an entire day when I did this, and actually seemed much
more responsive. After about 24 hours it hung and I ctrl-c'd it from gdb
and got a backtrace with "thread apply all bt". The issue appears to be
in thread 1273.
