130076 - Mail freezes when displaying message from ESPN

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[scottputterman]

Using the 3/8/02 build on Win 2000.

I received a message from ESPN titled "Step up to the Plate (audio e-mail)".

When I try to display it, the App freezes.  It works fine in 4.x.  I think this
might be because it's trying to load java which may mean it's a dup of similar
java email bugs we've seen.

Have you try to turn off Java?

Comment 3

[scottputterman]

I can display the message when Java is turned off.

On linux, java in mail will more than often cause a crash: bug 78847

Other candidates: bug 102056, bug 90802, bug 61122

Using a Mozilla RC1 build on Win2K with Java 1.4.0-01, I don't freeze but the
java applet generate the following error:

java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: mailbox

Scott are you still having trouble displaying your ESPN messages?

Scott, do you still see this?
