Description Johnny Proton 2005-11-07 14:15:21 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Mail 20M worth of MP3 files to a friend.

2. Friend's mail server doesn't accept files that big, and bounces back to you.
   * Friend's mail server converts attached Base 64 files into plain text so
it's like a zillion pages long.

3. Click on return message and attempt to view in preview pane.

4. Boom!

Stack trace:
I have no idea how to do attach a stack trace.

Other information:
For importance, imagine receiving a very large logwatch file or something like
that.  All of these will crash evo.

Hey Johnny, thanks for the bug report, But there is no way of knowing what
caused the crash without the stack trace. Heres how you could do it
