48338 - attempting to read specific email hangs mozilla

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 48417

(MailNews Core :: MIME, defect, P3)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20000808
BuildID:    20000080808

after importing netscape mail to mozilla I went through my messages removing a
significant number of them..  i found a few specific emails caused mozilla to
hang..  one of which was an re: to another of the offending emails.. so I assume
its a parsing error.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.start mozilla
2.choose tasks and start the email manager
3.highlight the specific email

Actual Results:  mozilla hangs with none of its windows responding to any mouse
clicks.. when i enter the task manager it shows mozilla as "not responding"


Expected Results:  I expected it to show me the mail i had highlighted..
netscape 4.x parses these few messages just fine

cutting and pasting text inside message into a new message doesn't replicate the
error..
i'm attempting to forward myself the message and hopefully error will be
reproduced that way or else I'd suspect its an importing error

I could use the actual mail folder that you are having problems with. Can you 
attach it to this bug report?

I think this is similar to the bug filed against mscott:  bug 48417.  Symptom 
sounds the same with "not responding" in task manager

(I know this bug was filed first, bug 48417 contains sample msgs.  
Unfortunately, we had to mark that bug "confidential" since the sample msgs 
contained confidential information to Netscape.)
