When you click on a message in the mail box it will start downloading the
message.  If you click off the message (on to another message), the
semi-downloaded message gets cached in the mailbox.
Moving the email to another folder on the same account will let you view the
entire message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on a non-downloaded message
2.quickly click on another message
3.go back to the message in step 1
Actual Results:  
The email in step 1 is half downloaded, and only displays part of the message

Expected Results:  
carried on loading the message in step 1/2, or check to see if the local copy is
the same as the one on the server before displaying it.

Richard, are you talking about imap, and do you have the folder configured for
offline use? Or are you simply talking about the memory cache?

It's in the inbox, so yes - it's configured for offline use.

To be honest, I haven't tried quiting to see if it's on hard disk or just in
memory - I'll try next time it happens.  (Usually when the mail server is being
a little slow.)

Since updating to build 2002120205 I have been unable to reproduce this bug.
