STR:
1) Select a message (on imap in my case)
2) File > Print preview

Result:
Thunderbird hangs, eating all CPU, so the whole desktop almost locks up. It's no fun finding a regression window, since I almost always have to kill X to get my system back to normal. But at least I found 2007-02-06 trunk to be ok, 2007-03-23 hangs.

I think it's the same for actual printing, but didn't try at this time... Minefield printing seems to be working ok.

Could also be bug 379430?
With current trunk it doesn't hang, it's only veeery sluggish and doesn't really show a real print preview but a page with odd colored blocks..? Oh well, at least it's an improvement;)

Marking as dependent on bug 379430, I agree it's likely a dupe of that. Will check when it gets fixed.
