Shortening summary. The original summary read:

I was on the ATT e-mail web site.  I was on  the list of messages pages, and
tried to open a message with an attachment in Word.  This message was from a
reliable source which intended no malice.  Nothing happened for a while.   The
mouse did not operate on the web site: I could not move the pointer, though no
hour glass appeared.  I could only exit the the browser by clicking on the "x"
in the upper right corner.  I did re-load the browser, which worked, but I got a
message "mozilla.org" not found", or something very similar.  When I wrote the
ATT address in te URL line, I got the same message.  I exited the browser , and
re-started the computer.  When trying this, I got a window that an application
was busy or did not respond;  I selected the option "wait", and after a few
seconds I could restart.  Exacly the same happened: I got to te browser, but got
 the same error messages.  I shut the computer down, and re-started it after a
few hours.  This time,  I could load the browser,  got the Mozilla home page,
could log on to the ATT  mail web site, and it worked.  However, when I tried to
open the offending message, the same happened all over again.   I asked the
sender to send the attachment in plain ASCII.  Then it worked without an
difficulty.    However, one thing has changed. Before the first crash,  when
starting the computer, at one time the screen caned suddenly from black to blue.
  Now, instead of changing suddenly,  for a fraction of a second  the uppermost
part (about one fift) of the screen  is not just  blue, but shows a fine grained
pattern of different shades of blue.    I hope that  this report is helpful. 
The next time I run into problems, I will write te details down right  away  in
order to be mre precise.   Hans Joksch

reporter - I'm afraid this report isn't much use as it is.  If it can be
reproduced with a recent build of Mozilla and you can give some more detail (a
copy of the attachment causing the problem, for example), you can reopen this
bug. thanks.
