User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 I have a few long messages that are all text (no HTML-mail). They are multiple short replies as I have been working with CommVault tech support on an issue with our backup software. The message has grown to be fairly long. Whenever I click on the message to display it, it takes several seconds with the status bar saying "loading message". When I click reply, it takes 100% of one of my CPUs ( I have a dual opteron Windows XP SP2 system) for several minutes of both Thunderbird and the reply window locked up before it loads the message. I have noticed that as the message gets longer, the time to display it takes longer, too. There isn't really any sensitive information in the e-mail, so I can provide it to a developer if needed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. As described above, receive long e-mail 2. Attempt to display or reply to said e-mail 3. Thunderbird locks up for several seconds to minutes Actual Results: If I'm patient enough, the e-mail will eventually display Expected Results: Should be displaying quicker and not taking up 100% of my CPU? I have tried disabling all of my extensions (only 2 of them) and it doesn't seem to make any difference.
suggest you check the following dup possibilities: bug 240307, bug 101064, bug 289644, bug 311223, bug 100835 and then comment in this bug (ATM I don't have time to check them myself)

Seems to be a dupe of 298297, although the last time a comment was made on that bug was over a year ago. Is there anything I can do to help this bug along?
