Description

[Micah Gersten]

This is from this crash report for Thunderbird 3:
ID: 24217b56-b770-485c-b621-1b1332091203

User comments from crash-stats:
Was browsing my inbox. I tried to open a recent mail, but an old mail from a month or so ago opened instead. I was trying to get the e-mail to display correctly, so I right-clicked and chose 'Edit as new...', which caused this crash.

There is a similar report on Launchpad for Thunderbird 2 with similar comments.

Can we get an email in .eml format attached to this bug so we have a testcase and can fix the issue ?

MimeDecoderWrite(MimeDecoderData*, char const*, int) appears for Mac also but I didn't check if stack is same

Comment 4

[David :Bienvenu]

I fixed a crash in the mimedrft code which might fix this problem. The fix is in the 3.01 nightlies, and the 3.1 nightlies. bug 532693 has the fix I'm thinking of.

[Micah Gersten]

Launchpad user confirmed that the 3.0.1 nightly build fixes the problem.
