Bug Description

When I receive an e-mail with a huge image in attachment, evolution hangs for several minutes trying to render the image inline. During this time, the system becomes quite slow. Evolution should handle this situation gracefully, perhaps by not automatically trying to render images over a certain resolution.

I can submit the image (jpeg, 10000x13000 pixels) if neccessary.
