[Solved] evolution webkit2gtk-4.1 error: WebKitWebProcess crashed

After webkit2gtk-4.1 updated to version 2.44.3-1 on Aug 13 I started getting errors in evolution -  not all but many messages fail to display display and instead show an error panel which says:

  Something has gone wrong when displaying the message
  A WebKitWebProcess crashed when displaying the message. You can try again by moving to another message and back. If the issue persists, please file a bug report in GNOME GitLab.

I stopped all evolution processes and restarted but didn't help.

Evo itself was last update on Aug 3 (3.53.4-2) and ldd looks reasonable

         $ ldd /usr/bin/evolution | grep webkit
	libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0 => /usr/lib/libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0 (0x00007f51bce00000)

Anyone offer any thoughts?

Downgrading to prior version seems to have fixed the problem

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/webkit2gtk-4.1-2.44.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
