I'm using evolution (cvs, Feb. 11 2001) with fetchmail since a long time
because I had a lot of trouble with pop3. Evolution also crashes
regulary when reading mail from /var/spool/mail/$USER
So it seems to be a problem inside the normal reading of mail, not only
bad error handling. Other times, I read 100+ messages in a bulk without
a problem.

PS: "SEND LATER" causes evolution to loop with 100% CPU and rapid
growing in memory since sime weeks with different cvs versions.
