Reporter: please can you define "a lot of graphics" in terms of number of
files/images and size.

also: are you sure thunderbird isn't just taking a long time to process the
selection? is the cpu 100% busy, or 0%?

Attachment: Email received from sender.

This was the email sent to me by the reporter. Trying to forward it works for
me on Thunderbird version 0.6+ (20050205) - current trunk (Linux Mandrake 10).

Reporter: were you using thunderbird 1.0?
