Hi, Øystein,

Sorry for the delay, I've not seen your answer coming to me...

I've made some tests, but am a little bit restricted by my company's admin.

If I send myself an e-mail with an empty subject from Evolution, then it
doesn't crash.
If I connect to port 25 of Exchange server via telnet and send myself an
e-mail coming from my address, then Evolution crashes (in that case, the
"From" field is only composed of an address, no full name in it).
If I connect to port 25 of Exchange server via telnet and send myself an
e-mail coming from a fake address, then Evolution crashes.

Sorry not being able to help you more.
The problem happened a few times since I submitted the bug report.

Cheers,
Sébastien NOBILI
