[Bug 42914] Freezes when formatting html mail and no internet connection.

[John Cooper]

Public bug reported:

Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
To reproduce:

1. Setup an network connection like a corporate LAN where internet
packets "get lost" and you have to wait for a time out, and turn off
your proxy setups.

2. View a HTML mail with images loaded from the internet.

3. Switch to antother message.

The "Formatting message..." alert will be fixed in the message bar and
you will not be able to view another mail till the connections for all
the images have timed out.

I think that when I click on antoher mail it should kill the html
rendering even if it is waiting on an image to download.

Note: The type of internet connection is important as this only happens
when packets that you send out to the internet get no replies and so
have to time out. This is probably a problem with our network setup but
could also be true for other people.
