22332 - UI freezes while parsing msg

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(MailNews Core :: MIME, defect, P3)

Description

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

While the content of the msg is parsed (e.g. by |mozTXTToHTMLConv::ScanTXT|),
the throbber isn't updated and the UI freezes.

Proposed fix: Call whatever is neccessary to process user input etc.
before/after processing each line.

There's really no safe way to fix this. You could spawn a new thread to do the
ScanTXT() processing which way too much work for this issue. You could also try
to get the current event queue and process pending events. But then you face
re-entrant nastiness.
