Re: [Evolution] Some mail imported from Outlook is shown in rawHTML

        Hello,
hmm, seems to me as I'm wrong. I'm sorry for my quick thought.

Anyway, you can disable the preview panel in Evolution
(View->Preview->Show message preview (Ctrl+M)) and then select and
delete it from Evolution too.

If it crashes because it remembered the last selected message as this
bad, then run 'evolution --disable-preview', if your version supports
it. I'm not sure since which version it is implemented there exactly.

If you can file a bug against Evolution and attach there such email in
mbox format (stripped private info from there), then it would be great.
(Maybe such bug already exists, I do not know, so please look over
bugzilla.gnome.org, under Evolution's bugs.)
        Thanks and bye,
        Milan

As a post script to this, I tried one of these conversions, and followed
the suggestion to change text/plain to text/html.  Now Evo crashes when
I access it, even if the access is a right click to delete.

I am going to try to delete it with outlook and hope that doesn't crash
with it as well.

I don't think Milan has the answer as I see this same behavior when
converting Outlook generated RTF formatted emails to Tasks using
Evolution.

The behavior I am seeing is that when Evo encounters RTF formatted
messages it converts them to HTML, but displays the the resulting task
as raw HTML.  

IF, as Milan points out, this is because it tags it as text/plain, this
is an evolution bug.

  Hello,
if the mail states "ïContent-Type: text/plain", then Evolution shows it
as plain text. If you change it to "ïContent-Type: text/html", then it
will be shown as you expect. That's the reason, I guess.
  Hope that helps,
  Milan

I used instructions like:

...for moving my existing Outlook mailboxes to Evolution.

Some messages are mangled: Evolution shows them as raw HTML.  For
example, Evolution displays the body of an email like ("..." replaces
private info): 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">

<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
... 


Looking at the file evolution is showing, I wouldn't know what would
be wrong to look for:

~/.evolution/mail/imap/    localhost/folders/INBOX/subfolders/ibox2>

Note that not all email looks like this... it seems to have occurred
to blocks of messages... and only converted messages... no new
messages have had this issue. 

Any idea what's wrong or, more importantly, how to fix it?

Thanks,

Chris
