When clicking on messages in the messages pane, Thunderbird crashes after the
third (plus minus one) message.
I tried different messages in different folders, there doesn't seem to be any
pattern in the mails causing Tb to crash.

This bug somehow resembles bug #243154, but the folders won't be corrupted.

I have similar problems with my Tb 6+ (20040609) trunk build. Fortunately, the
folders are not corrupted. It's just

Dominik Seelow: Do you have same problem with Thunderbird 0.7.x? Could you

No, the problem occured only with the version mentioned above. Since I installed
another one immediately, I cannot reproduce anything.

I'm going to tag on to this thread, to report some recent Thunderbird crahes
which appear to be quite random.

I'm currently using version 0.7+ (20040812), branch, installer, with Windows XP
Home. A few minutes ago, I clicked on an old message in one folder, TB crashed.

I find that TB often crashes *after* I've closed it: I'll close the program, and
a short while later, the crash notification will appear.

Several days ago, when installing that day's release, I also installed Talkback,
but, just as with Firefox, it never actually delivers anything. That is, I'll
let the program try eight or ten times to deliver the crash report, and then
I'll cancel the report as I tire of wasting so much time as it tries to deliver
a report.

The crashing started sometime with in the past two weeks or so. Until the
crashes started, with whatever release I happened to be using at the time, a TB
crash was quite rate, but now are all too common.

I might be able to get a screen capture of the data created when a TB crash
appears in lieu of a Talkback report, if that would be of any use to anyone. If
so, let me know where and how to submit same, and I'll see if it can be done.
