Browser freezes when attempting to send a mail or sending off a message via a
mail-to-window.
(Receiving mail is fine)

The same occurs on version 1.2.1 for AIX (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; AIX 0001B53F4C00;
en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021203) -- downloaded I believe 2002/12/04 from the
mozilla ftp site.  The mail is sent but it creats 4 files in $TMP: nscopy.tmp,
nsmail.eml nsmail/html nsmail.tmp of which nscopy.tmp keeps growing.

However...as I started this comment and grabbed the version number, I noted that
the reported version was 1.2 although it was from the 1.2.1 directory. 
Therefore, I checked the ftp site again and found a version posted on 2002/12/09
(Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; AIX 0001B53F4C00; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021209).  In
this version, mail is sent as expected.  

Caveat: Of course, this may or may not be related to the Mac System 9.x report,
but the symptom is, and rather than submit a new bug for something that while
less than 2 weeks old has been superceded, this bug is still open, therefore the
comment is perhaps merited.

Reporter:
Do you mean Mozilla Mailnews or grendel ?

no grendel bug and reporter doesn't use mozilla mail anymore.
