Re: [Evolution] disabling image attachment preview (1.4.6)

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

There's no way to disable it presently, apart from maybe disabling tiff support in all of gnome.

I can't see why it should be going to X to do the scaling, but with gdk, anything is possible.  Iguess there's no chance of trying it locally to see if its just slow 'cause its a big file?
