Suresh, have you tried to narrow down the content?  What happens if you have
just an original message that had the same contents as the replied message?
What happens if your replied message is blank (ie. clear out the content)?

Lisa,
1. If I exchange mails using 5.0 then it freezes, no matter what the contents of
the message are. I tried sending mails from pop to pop, both, to itself
(qatest36 to qatest36) and using two different pop accounts (qatest36 to
qatest04).

2. If I exchange mails using 5.0 and 4.x then it doesn't freezes. The 5.0 test
account is qatest36 (pop) and 4.x is my 'suresh'.

3. Unfortunately I couldn't test exchanging emails between pop and imap, since
my system freezes when I do imap operation.

Looks like I fixed it when I fixed the missing opening BLOCKQUOTE tag. I was
able to reproduce it before but now works fine for me. I went up to 4 levels of
reply without problem. I also get correctly the blue line in the left margin of
the original message.
