1. From Browser ˋLaunch e-mail-client using icon in SM Status barˊ
2. in existing IMAP account inbox ˋclick an e-mail in the Thread Paneˊ
   » In Message Pane in grey heading area Subject contents shown as expected  :-)  
     (Normal view or "All" does not matter)
3. ˋWith double click on e-mail in Thread Paneˊ open e-mail in new separate
   Window 
   » In in grey heading area Subject contents shown as expected               :-)  
4. With ˋrightclick → Edit as newˊ on e-mail in Thread Pane open e-mail

@Reporter:
Thank you for your attention, but unfortunately your report is much to imprecise.

   (similar to report in Bug 1139273)
b) Attach screenshots with comments if you believe that that might explain the

    May be you should attach a copy of menu 
   'Help → Trouble shooting information”
c4) how you launch SM (Double click on document? console? …)
c5) Whether problem persists in safe mode without add-ons

Started a fresh profile and this is how the e-mail looks in its current state. 

Before adding a new profile I was able to read messages, now everything seems to be blank.

*This does not happen on version 45 of Seamonkey

. From Browser ˋLaunch e-mail-client using icon in SM Status barˊ

Grey heading worked in my old profile. Created a fresh profile and this is completely white(blank).

3. ˋWith double click on e-mail in Thread Paneˊ open e-mail in new separate
   Window 
   » In in grey heading area Subject contents shown as expected               :-)

This worked on my old profile. In my new profile, double click will open new window, but the window is completely blank.
  
4. With ˋrightclick → Edit as newˊ on e-mail in Thread Pane open e-mail 
   as a new e-mail (Plain Text)
   » Subject contents shown as expected 

Crashes on both profiles.

Mail is also crashing on random. Example being... Double clicking a message. reproducing this will sometime have no issues and sometimes it crashes. This happens more often on my old profile.

Again this issue does not happen on Seamonkey 2.45 nor have I had any issues in 2.40. I'm running Mint 17.3 English with a pretty basic dwm DE with Mate-settings-daemon. I'm using pop3 gmail, but rss seems to reproduce the issue consistently. All extensions are disabled on my old profile.
