Since last updates to Hardy, it is impossible to attach MS-Office files
to Evolution mail messages. When I try to attach xls, doc, ppt, db, etc
files to new messages, Evolution crashes and exits. I have Crossover
Office and OpenOffice installed, and both work on opening this kinds of
files. Could this problem be related to mime-types association or
something like that?
Heres a brief description on how to reproduce this problem. I have also
attached a GDB backtrace (according to Ubuntu Backtrace wiki).
1) I start evolution...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ evolution &
[1] 24323
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
2) ...and GDB
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gdb 2>&1 | tee gdb-evolution.txt
(gdb) handle SIG33 pass nostop noprint
(gdb) set pagination 0
(gdb) attach 24323
(lots of read/loaded symbols)
3) Now I click on new messge icon and continue
(gdb) continue
Continuing.

4) Now I click on the paper clip icon to attach a file, select ~/123.xls and
click the button "Attach".

5) Now I try to continue and the program exits.
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
The program no longer exists.
(gdb)
6) Now I quit gdb
(gdb) quit

Any help will be deeply appreciated. Not being able to send this kind of file
through Evolution is a serious problem at our office...
I understand Hardy is alpha software: I'm just reporting the bug.
