I don't have any hope that anyone can actually make something useful

from this report, but here goes anyway:

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 but I'm using the Evolution 3.44.1 flatpak to get a

modern version.  I've been using this for a number of months without

problems, including sending other email to this same mailing list.

I just wrote an email to the gcc-help list: I switched the default type

from HTML to Plain Text, then pasted some text and selected the text

and changed the paragraph type to Preformatted, then I edited and

checked and rewrote and futzed with the email for about 15 minutes,

then I sent it.

When it arrived, it looked like this:

https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-help/2022-May/141620.html

That is what the message looked like about 30s after I created it,

right after I pasted the text into it and before I had done any other

editing on it including changing it to Preformatted.  Note that it's

not just that the message cuts off and the rest is missing: changes

that I made to the part of the message that IS present, are missing as

well.

It's appears that Evolution internally froze the content of my message

at that moment, and all the further edits that I made so that the

message looked perfect to me were thrown away when I clicked Send and

that initial frozen version was sent instead.

I looked in my Sent folder and the same content is there as what was

received by the GCC list.

Very bizarre and annoying, sigh.
