I did recall seeing something, though it is on 64 bit FC4 filed in
January. It might be related to your issue:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179233

If you do a quick search in Bugzilla using "evolution paste" as the
keywords, there are another 8 bugs that refer to bizarre behavior when
doing C&P with Evo. Most of these are lock ups. 

HTH.

OK. It just occurred to me that I had a mental vapor lock.  I used the
e-mail account that you had above without changing it to a legitimate
account.

It bounced from the above account with error messages and attachments
indicating no legitimate user as one would expect.

When I used my own actual account (the one used here), the e-mail seems
to be holding in:

    /var/spool/postfix/active/6E836320BD

subsequent to initial receipt. It does not get picked back up via my
ISP's server, which likely is an indication of their server not
accepting e-mails from non-legit domains (ie. localhost.localdomain).

The e-mail is now in:

  /var/spool/postfix/defer[red]


What is interesting however, is that I did the same thing to a Yahoo
e-mail account that I set up and it works fine. The e-mail that I sent
to my work address was received locally and then properly forwarded to
the Yahoo e-mail account with the requisite subject header. I should
note however, that the e-mail did get put into the "Bulk" e-mail folder,
since I have SpamGuard enabled there.

Does that help?

I got your second e-mail and will likely have to look at that tonight
after work.  I'll get back to you on that one.

Thanks,

Marc
