Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation? Upgrading system

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
Tried upgrading to the current version and the issue is still there.

   * What was the outcome of this action? No change in viewing images method
and the Help page displays as a blank white page either by clicking "HELP" or
pressing F1.

   * What outcome did you expect instead? To be able to view images bt clicking
the icon in the upper right corner of the email and to be able to view the help
page.

A clearer (hopefully) explaination of the problem:

When the view image is working correctly, I can click on the icon in the upper
right corner of the email and get a drop down menu. Currently the only way
possible to view images is by pressing CTL+I. I used to be able to view the
help section of Evolution either by pressing F1  or clicking the "Help"
button(?) in the main  screen.
I know the latest version is 3.58.0 Since Testing is one step down from SID
could we test that release in SID so it gets "pushed" to Forky (Testing)
please?

Hello,

I can confirm the same issue with Evolution 3.56.2-0+deb13u1 on LMDE 7:
images are not displayed in messages, but reappear when I reply to or
forward the message.

The problem started after an update, about three days ago.

Thank you in advance. Best regards

John
