accepting.

Using the branch build 20020806 on Mac OSX and following the steps (I think), I
can't reproduce the crash.  
1.) I composed an HTML message using the message in bug comment 3 for 138125 as
a model.
2.) I saved it to my local Drafts
3.) I skipped the Martini, I checked mail, not sure what "Simple HTML" mode is,
so I unchecked the HTML compose for my default mail account. 
4.) I returned to Drafts folder
5.) I double-clicked the message and also did an "Edit Draft" and did not crash.

Note: even though I'm in plain text compose, the message comes up in HTML
compose because it was saved as such.  Note" the source for my newly composed
message I don't have this line 
"<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"> 
where the message in bug 138125 shows this line in the source.  

I need help reproducing this, please tell me how to switch to "Simple HTML" mode?

Esther, you need to use a Mozilla build. From the 3Pane window, select menu item
View/Message Body As/Simple HTML

Comment 5

[esther]

OK, I try that. I thought I looked in the linux mozilla build for this menu but
I'll look again.  Also note I do have ""<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"> in the source of both messages, I must
have missed it.

[esther]

OK, now I can reproduce it in mozilla build. Branch builds don't have the menu
for Viewing message as Simple HTML so it does not happen in branch.

This problem might have been fixed by the fix for bug 138125 which went in the
trunk yesterday.

Esther, can you try again with today's trunk build? Thanks

Comment 8

[esther]

I tested again with 11-21trunk and the same message as before and no crash. 
However, this message is not visible in simple html like it should be according
to bug fix for 138125.  Resolving as fixed per fix for the depend bug 138125 and
then verifying this only for the crashing not the lack of display.
