[Description Derek Berube 2005-04-06 09:47:16 UTC]

Whenever I attempt to accept an appointment that contains attachments, evolution crashes.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Evolution.
2. Select the message that contains the meeting request and attachments.
3. Left-click on the 'Accept' button.

Actual Results:  
Evolution freezes and you can only force quit.

Expected Results:  
The appointment should have been added to my calendar along with the attachments.

Sample Problem Message.txt

From the Evolution mailer window, I selected the message containing the meeting
invitation (along with an attached ZIP file of the backtrace I captured) and
selected the 'Save As...' menu option from the right-click context menu.

I wasn't sure if I should report this upstream or not.

[Comment 4 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) 2005-11-01 12:20:33 UTC]

I am unable to reproduce this, and indeed, I receive and accept appointments all
the time.

Can you use your calendar otherwise?  Can you create an appointment within
evolution?  At one pointe, I had no local calendar, and so calendar operations
were failing for me.

[Comment 5 Joe McCann (RETIRED) 2006-01-07 10:34:31 UTC]

No response, reported from old version of evolution
