When klicking on a received mail with HTML contents and stylesheets, mozilla
crashes, even in such way that the program can not be terminated. (I have to
exit windows and then I can terminate a dozen unindentified tasks).

I have seen other bug reports which are probably related/the same: 102056,
125256, 129485.

The mail crashing seems to be related to stylesheets within the mail. (it was
the only difference i could find) It has no scripts or microsoft-content as the
other bugs reported.

To "read" the mail I invented a little trick: minimize the view-pane of the mail
by maximizing the mail-index-pane (am i using the right terms?) In this way the
mail is not yet loaded when clicked on.

part of the mail:
--TriLab_BulkMailer_DNR
Content-Type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A hang is technically (and even from a user's perspective) much different from a
crash.  correcting summary.

How can this be a duplicate of bug 98626? This bug has 0% CPU Usage. It just
lets Mozilla hang. (with no options to kill the hanging process under WinME, so
very annoying!)

however, it could be the background image causing the problem.
This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 98626, but 98626 is fixed and I still
have this major problem of my cmputer hanging.

I am currently using Mozilla 1.2b build 2002101612 on WinMe.

To reproduce, simply browse to
http://home.student.utwente.nl/a.m.fleurke/message.eml. Mozilla will 'cause an
error in <unknown>' and after pressing 'ok', mozilla hangs and within no time
WinMe hangs too. I can not kill the mozilla program (by pressing ctl-alt-del
because it is not listed anymore in the list of running programs.

I have no CPU usage, so this bug seems quite different from 98626.
