221882 - clicking out of inbox and coming back produces blank email from 1969

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 209501

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Jennifer Fackler]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

When I leave the inbox folder for any other and then come back, a totally blank
message appears in my inbox.  It shows up as unread, and there is never more
than one of them.  It has no subject, sender, etc., and for that matter appears
to have no headers or content whatsoever.  The datestamp is 12/31/1969 6:00 PM
(I'm in CST, so 1/1/1970 UTC).

If I delete the email, it comes back as soon as I leave inbox and return.  If I
do not delete it, it just hangs around, and a new one is not produced.

I have observed this in numerous recent nightlies (most recently 20031008), and
the 0.2 milestone release.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Leave inbox
2. Come back to inbox
3.

Actual Results:  
A mysterious totally blank email appears.

Expected Results:  
Not created a mysterious totally blank email.
