Description

[Michael Graubart]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030115
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030115

I saved a mail message to my desktop. Subsequently I tried to print it, but
every time Mozilla froze up.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save a message from the mail window as xxx.eml.
2. Close Mozilla.
3. Double-click on the saved message to start Mozilla and open the message.
4. Choose 'Print'.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla froze up.

Expected Results:  
It should have allowed the message to be printed.

Mac G3 (old beige), OS 9.2.2. Modern theme. I am using Build 2003011508 because
later builds have not been made available for OS 9.x.

I shall attach the message that caused the problem.

I have now discovered that once again – YET once again! – Mozilla had become
corrupted, and froze up even when I tried to print currently-displayed messages
from my inbox. I have once again had to uninstall Mozilla and re-install it from
scratch; I can now print OK. I have no idea what could have damaged Mozilla.
This instability, which manifests itself in various ways (e.g. also in
connection with the bookmarks file) is very worrying.

Unfortuanly support for mac classic is dead :-( -> WONTFIX.

If this also occurs on OSX, please reopen and change the OS field.

However there does exist an unofficial 1.3 where this might be fixed, see
