Under Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X 9-25 nightlies, I get an error when I try to either compose a new message or reply to a message. The error message is "An error occurred while creating a message compose window. Please try again." On OS 9, I am able to click OK and resume working in Mozilla. On OS X, Mozilla freezes and I have to force quit it.
Can't test message composition without this.

Confirmed on windows and linux22. I've also noticed that you can't use composer because of this. I'm seeing this on macosx, macos9, win32, and linux22.
Reproduced on Sparc/Solaris8

some pre-existing bugs: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131384 http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144585 I'll try to give all three the people's elbow.

Seth, should those two pre-existing bugs be also marked as smoketest blockers, or should they be marked as dups?
I'm not sure yet. They are probably related, but different bugs. I just plan to fix the blocker first, and then look at the other bugs while I'm in this code.
Composer and mail compose work in my linux debug build. Could this be a packaging problem? Is anyone seeing it in debug builds?
I'm still building. i wonder if it's type-ahead-find related? if we don't install it, we break.
Sorry, I had done a new build before I checked in, but someone else's change to ComposerCommands.js slipped through without me noticing.
