I would concur.  I've occasionally seem message pain freezes and the
only way out is to restart Evolution. I've always put it down to
specific messages causing problems and I get round it by disabling the
preview and deleting the bad message - it's always some inconsequential
advertising thing and I suspect it's to do with bad HTML.  It happens
so rarely these days though.
