[ale] binhex attachments and Evolution 1.0

[James P. Kinney III]

Wow! What a bug!

The binhex attachment from the aler needing help opening the PICT file
has consistently crashed the Evolution mail section every time I tried
to do anything with the email. The retrieval to delete it and subsequent
crash indicates that evolution may wind up succeptable to similar types
of email bugs that M$ Outlook has. If one must open the email to delete
it that violates any sense of mail security. 

I have reported the bug to Ximian. Unfortunatly, it appears to be a more
fundamental design flaw. Maybe a single click to select the message in
the index view for moving and file operations, and a double click to
open.
