The current version of evolution shipped by void crashes when the user attempts to open an attachment from the message preview (opening the message, then opening the attachment works).

This is caused by a change in webkit from 2.49.4 onwards as per this bug 298016. Void ships a newer version of webkit and, while Milan Crha fixed the issue downstream, the version for evolution currently shipped by void does not include this patch.

After applying this patch and updating evolution, attachment can be now opened from the message preview.

Can you also fix the title of the commit (you can use git commit --amend)?
