Upon viewing this message, Thunderbird crashes immediately. Email attached.
Of interest (to me) is this info in the header,
iPlanet-SMTP-Warning: Lines longer than SMTP allows found and truncated.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.

This email, when tBird asked to view, will crash

You're probably right about the truncated line. That line is an HTML tag
setting up a flash animation:
<object ...><param ...><embed src=... type=... width="! <- ! + linebreak
198" heig <- truncation
<blah blah blah...>
So the <embed> tag never closes properly, and the </embed> and </object> tags
are eradicated as well. The truncation makes sense, that line is oversized, but
it's very clumsily done. Still: crashing is bad.

It would make sense to do one of the following,
1. A little warning dialog pops up saying the message is unviewable.
2. the message body is displayed as if embedded in-between <pre> tags.
I like #2 only because the users targetted should have to know enough to go in
with vi to look at the message.
Either way, the system should remain stable enough so the message can be saved,
deleted, whatever..

This sample does not appear to have any embedded html tags that are truncated.
But I don't know about the multiline tag from spamassassin...

I've tried to load both of the attached messages in TB 0.8, Win2K; both loaded
without problems and even displayed more-or-less reasonably. I see no reason at
all why the second message should be a problem. Have you tried reinstalling?

Re-installed. Behavior persists on both messages. Note that this is on Linux,
not W2K, rev version 0.8 (20040913)

Are the crashes generating Talkback reports? If so, please post the talkback
IDs here.
Severity: normal → critical

FYI: Bug 260735 also has a crash on a particular message under Linux.
Can you port these messages to a Mozilla 1.8a build and see if the crash
reproduces there?

No, Talkback is not sent. I assume it's always enabled, as there is no GUI
component to set/inspect its settings.

this is almost certainly a dup of that jvm plugin bug - you can work around it
by removing the jvm plugin, iirc. I'll try to find the other bug...

sorry, wrong bug...I doubt this is plugin-related.

Importing mail into Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040927
First attachment (with the <object> tag) works fine, no errors.
Second attachment (unknown issue,presumed multiline item in mail header) works
fine, no errors.

Question: am not using the daily snapshots of TB 0.8. By any chance are you?

With daily snapshot: TB 0.8 version 0.8 (20040928)
Message 1. <object> Still crashes, but I *do* receive, on the console...
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the JVM manager
System error?:: Success
Message 2. <object> Still crashes, but I *do* receive, on the console...

Nope, just the 0.8 milestone version.

At the "JVM plugin bug," see: bug 223600 comment 24 for a possible workaround.

Bryan Headley, are you still encountering this bug?
Note that bug 223600 has been fixed.
