mozilla thunderbird 1.5 (20051201). from tb 1.5 rc1 to now. same on linux i386 and win2k.

when i am using tb 1.5's message filter to auto-forward old emails to another web mail box, tb crashed many times. after investigation, i found that filter's auto-forward function - other actions works fine - will cause crash when the non-encoded subject field were met.

according to some friends, the subject field should be/must be encoded properly especially when it contains multi-byte chars. in my case, they are chinese, shown  after "subject: " with no encoding infomation (the correct encoding should begin with =?gb2312?B?...., gb2312 is a charset/encoding used in mainland china).

if the subject field is empty, it will crash too. and sometimes even the From field can cause crash.

all the crashes happened when i clicked the "run now" button.

and all these emails can be browsed, viewed, replyed or forwarded in the thunderbird main window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.got a email with a subject which contains non-encoded chinese characters.
2.create a filter for this email, make the "forward" as the action, and give a real email address in the following textbox.
3. select the folder contains this email.
4.press the "run now" button in the message filters window.
Actual Results:  
tb 1.5 crashed. in windows, it will say "memory can no be write...", in linux, segment fault. on line 131, run-mozilla.sh.

Expected Results:  
the mail is forwarded.

such emails are not standard, but they exist and thunderbird's main functions works fine with them.

Could you install with talkback and get a talkback ID for the crash? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback

i dont know if it is a dupe of bug 314471. but i can trigger it at anytime. and according adam's order, i got 2 crash talkback ids : 

TB14091349H - maybe because the subject contains non-encoded chinese characters.

TB14091308Y - maybe because of the subject field is empty.

and fortunatly, it send to mozilla.org successfully this time.

hope it help.
