User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Opera 7.20  [en]
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0

Every time I use DND to move messages and a dialog pops up the GUI locks up and 
I have to kill mozilla. The message that pops up is usually a "server has 
disconnected" but the easiest way to reproduce is to move a message where the 
sender has requested a return receipt.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Which Mozilla build do you use? Platform? IMAP4 or POP3 account? You have to
provide more useful information to help you.
Ok, here goes

The account type is IMAP, cannot see which version.
Platform is Windows 2000, on a Pentium.
Mozilla version 1.6, cannot find a build number.
Got the following string from the about: page Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows
NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113
May have to do with DnD and alerts appearing, not mailnews specific.

Yes the bugs are very similar and probably caused be the same error.
When the bug strikes: Does hitting the "Esc" key change anything?

Well, yes. It actually closes the dialog and it is possible to continue working.
So the bug isn't as severe as I thought at first.
But still it should be possible to click the buttons in the dialog.

Severity: critical → minor
bug 125818 is about the same thing. Till now assumed to be Linux only.
