Description

[Lapo Luchini]

All the messages I receive from a free fax service (it sends TIF files,
mime-encoded) give some problems: only first text part is displayed, then it
hangs without displaying any attachment (completion bar hangs ao 70% or so).

A friend of mine said that it used to work in past releases (some 2 months ago),
and of course it works with Netscape 4.7.

I haven't found any existing bug regarding this, but I have little clue of what
could provoke this problem... anyway here is the source of a sample message:
