Title:
  Evolution segfaults when opening mail with ICS/VCALENDAR attachment

Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Upon opening a mail that has a ICS/VCALENDAR attachment Evolution will hang displaying "Retrieving message xxxxxxx-xxxxxx" for a few seconds and then segfault.
  This has happened with ICS/VCALENDAR files from various sources.
  After digging the web I had found one case where german "umlauts" (maybe non-ascii characters) would cause the crash.
  As my last name contains such a character I have prepared an ICS file and removed all possible offending characters and made a new test which resulted in the same crash as before.
  I have attached the (anonymized) offending ICS file used for reproducing the bug.
