This is a problem with some variation on multipart alternative messages...need
to figure out what the issue is here...sounds like a good project for my plane
ride home. :-)

This actually turned out to be two different issues.

  - The first issue was when a sender has a "&" in their name.. this broke the
XUL being emitted
  - The second issue was that an an internal buffering mechanism of libmime
that creates temp files when buffers get really big. The temp file name being
generated was NULL so after fixing that, it works.

Verified on Win32 and Linux.  Viewing these message does not crash seamonkey
under POP and IMAP.

On the MacOS commercial seamonkey build 1999-11-11-11-m11 build, it crashes
displaying the test message "10/19/99 10:48 The message that crashes libmime".
The other test message "10/21/99 11:11 Another problem message" did not crash
the Mac.
