           Summary: evolution chokes when a large txt file is in attachment
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: evolution
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: avilella at gmail.com
         QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


If someone sends a message with one or several big attached files of type *.txt,
evolution will try to parse and show the attachments, choking from the amount of
memory needed to do so:

1 - An email with big txt attachment lands Inbox
2 - User clicks once over email to oversee it (one click, no double click)
3 - Evolution automatically loads the attachments into memory, thus choking
because of RAM requirements.

Maybe one would like to see Evolution not automatically loading the big txt
attachment files. For example, if a big jpeg file is attached, it is not
loaded/shown by default.
