Oops, I forgot to tell the version. It's Mozilla Thunderbird version 0.8 (20040913)

Attachment: crash message

This message will also cause a crash in Thunderbird 0.8.

Wojtek Kaniewski, it appears the fragment you attached is just the attachment to 
the message that caused the crash.  This is insufficient for determining what 
was wrong.  Your bug report is really no good to anyone, so I'm marking it 
Invalid.  Feel free to reopen if you are still encountering the problem *and* 
you can provide full details of what's going on, including the entire source of 
the message that causes a crash when you view it.

Note that when 0.8 was released, there was a known problem with certain messages 
crashing Linux systems -- see bug 223600, and note that the problem with the JVM 
does not mean that the messages only caused crashes when a Java applet was 
embedded in the message.  This may or may not have been the same as your 
problem.

Daniel Perup, your crash message may be related to reporter's, or not.  You 
didn't specify which platform you were running under.  Your message does not 
cause a crash on my install of TB 1.0, Win2K.
