User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Build ID: 20180517113820

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open TB 52.8.0 (64 bit) on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
2. Click on a message in the message list. The message has an attachment in XML.

The file is a TEI XML file of size 5174514 (ls -la) with the following header. I cannot give the actual contents of the <body> tag as it is research data from ongoing research.

<TEI xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0">
	<teiHeader>
		<fileDesc>
			<titleStmt>
				<title/>
			</titleStmt>
			<publicationStmt>
				<ab/>
			</publicationStmt>
			<sourceDesc>
				<ab/>
			</sourceDesc>
		</fileDesc>
	</teiHeader>
	<text>
		<body/>
	</text>
</TEI>


Actual results:

Thunderbird freezes and needs to be closed and re-opened, either via GUI (X button on window) or kill process. Freezes on subsequent clicks on that message.


Expected results:

The message body is displayed in the message window, and the attachment available in the attachments section, as per usual.

Duplicate of bug 736951. Not sure if the other one is relevant.

I can "fix" by switching off inline display of atachments.
