Froze/Hung Mozilla for me. I had to kill it with Ctrl+Alt+Delete

I don't crash or hang with build 2001042704, but the view source window does
come up blank.

Comment 4

[scottputterman]

I also get a blank window.

[[e-mail] (gone - use [e-mail] instead)]

Based on Scott's and my experience, changing the summary of the bug.  Actually,
I think this bug should actually be that we should disable the View | Message
Source menu item when viewing the list-ids URL.

Marina, hope you don't mind, but I'm changing this bug's scope to 'Should
disable View | Message Source for expired articles', as I think that's the most
appropriate behavior we want in this case.

If the article is currently displayed, viewing source should still be possible.

sorry for the spam.  making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs.  filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.

Comment 12

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

Does this still reproduce?

Comment 13

[Joshua Cranmer [:jcranmer]]

It still displays a blank window, but I think we may get some more useful information with the fix for bug 80972...
