That's wonderfully random.  I don't know if it matters, but when you 
archive the email, is eog still open?

I quickly tried to reproduce this myself, but was unable.  You said it 
didn't happen all the time, so I may not have stumbled on the correct 
sequence to trigger it.

If you can run geary from a terminal with the debug flag (-d), you'll 
get a lot of debug output, including, I hope, info about the crash.  If 
you do that and get a crash, we'd be interested in seeing the last bit 
of that output.  Getting a backtrace of the crash would be even more 
helpful, if that's something you're able to do (see 
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Geary/ReportingABug).

Yeah, our bugtracker is bugzilla.gnome.org.  The github repo is an 
automatic mirror that Gnome created.  But they've disabled issues, 
which is a shame because I much prefer github's issue tracker to 
bugzilla.
