From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0rc2) Gecko/20020510
BuildID:    2002051006

This one is hard to explain - but I can reproduce it 90% of the time.

Open Mozilla, click on the mail icon in the bottom right.
Open a local mail folder, and search for a message.
Open up that message in its own window.
Double click on the main mail window (now in background).
Mozilla will hang/crash.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:

Were you using search in the main mail window or did you use the (Advanced)
Search Messages UI?  Did the search complete before you opened the message or
was it still in process?
Also, any particular kind of content in the message(s) which experience the problem?
When you say you double-click on the main mail window, is that opening a new
copy of the main window or attempting to open the message again to a standalone
message window?

The search was done in the main mail window. This message included a text
attachment.  The message was opened in a standalone message window.

Note: I can now make mozilla continue by right-clicking on the _MAIN_ mail
window's tab on the task bar.  The context menu is empty/not drawn.  Then I
CTRL+ALT+DEL kill that window.  Mozilla will then continue with the main mozilla
browser window and the individual standalone mail window.

I have tried to reproduce this iwht a recent mozilla 1.2 nightly udner windows 
2000, but so far I have failed.

Reporter could you please retest this bug with a more current build and see if 
the problem persist. If it does please lets us know, otherwise please resolve 
the bug as works-for-me

At the request of the previous tester I tried to duplicate the bug in
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826.

I could not.

Resolving as Works for Me.
