[GitHub issue by etiennesegonzac on 2012-09-09T17:25:23Z, https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/issues/4481]
STR:

- log to a gmail account from the gaia browser
- select a mail
- click "Archive" (links at the bottom of the page)

We get a big ugly gecko-looking XML error.

Not sure where it comes from and if a gecko bug should be filed, ping @jlebar ?

I can't test this atm because wifi is broken on my device.

If you have a chance, what does the error message say?  It could be that we're running out of memory and, instead of crashing, we do something funky which results in an error.

It's not showing up in screen-shots, but approximately :

```
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: https://mail.google.com...
Line Number 27, Column 53:

The conversation has been archived   [some html fragment probably meant to be placed in the dom]
```

@bzbarsky This is pretty bizarre.  Do you have any idea what might be going on here?  This doesn't smell like OOM to me...

The most likely cause is browser sniffing combined with buggy (possibly undertested) codepaths on the server.  Does spoofing the desktop Firefox UA change the behavior?

Yep we get the full version (pretty unusable) when spoofing the UA but archiving works ;)

OK.  Want to run a packet sniffer while doing the steps from comment 0 (hey, too bad Github's issue tracker doesn't number or linkify the comments....) and seeing what the server returns exactly?
