        Hi,
CAMEL_DEBUG is usually useless in such cases like hanging (UI stuck)
evolution. Better choice is getting a backtrace of the running (and
stuck) evolution, like with the command:
   $ gdb --batch --ex "t a a bt" -pid=`pidof evolution` &>bt.txt
Please check the bt.txt for any private information, like passwords,
email address, server addresses,... I usually search for "pass" at
least (quotes for clarity only).

Whether evolution keeps the attachment icon or not depends on the
message structure. The most recent change from the related code is for
this bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749108
though the issue there is opposite from that yours.
