Description jspaar 2004-06-02 05:53:17 UTC
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
are doing.
Description of Problem:
Certain received messages (see spam appended below) cause the preview pane
to freeze, with the status "Formatting message (...).  The rest of the UI
remains operational.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Select bad message from mailbox.
2. Select a different message.
3. 

Actual Results:
Preview pane shows contents of the bad message.  Status bar indicates
"Formatting message (...)".  Selecting other messages will not update the
preview pane.

Expected Results:
"Formatting message" status should disappear after a while.
Preview pane should update when a different message is selected.

How often does this happen? 
Every time the appended message is selected, if preview pane is open and
view->message display is set to Normal.  Doesn't freeze if msg display is
set to Email Source.

I get several spam per week which cause this.

When I take a long time, I am slow. When my boss takes a long time, he is
thorough. When I don't do it, I am lazy. When my boss doesn't do it, he is
too busy. When I do something without being told, I am trying to be smart.
When my boss does the same, that is initiative. When I please my boss, I am
ass-kissing. When my boss pleases his boss, he is co-operating. I do good,
my boss never remembers. When I do wrong, he never forgets<br>
A professor was giving a big test one day to his students. He handed out
all of the tests and went back to his desk to wait. Once the test was over
the students all handed the tests back in. The professor noticed that one
of the students had attached a $100 bill to his test with a note saying "A
dollar per  point." The next class the professor handed the tests back out.
This student got back his test and $64 change.<br>
A drunk decides to go ice fishing, so he gathers his gear and goes walking
around until he finds a big patch of ice. He heads into the center of the
ice and begins to saw a hole. All of sudden, a loud booming voice comes out
of the sky. "You will find no fish under that ice." The drunk looks around,
but sees no one. He starts sawing again. Once more, the voice speaks, "As I
said before, there are no fish under the ice." The drunk looks all around,
high and low, but can't see a single soul. He picks up the saw and tries
one more time to finish. Before he can even start cutting, the huge voice
interrupts. "I have warned you three times now. There are no fish!" The
drunk is now flustered and somewhat scared, so he asks the voice, "How do
you know there are no fish? Are you God trying to warn me?" "No", the voice
replied. "I am the manager of this hockey area! <br>
