803469 - SeaMonkey crashes after repeated cancels "There was an error saving the message to..." warnings.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 732687

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Composition, defect)

Description

[Edmund Wong (:ewong)]

I have "Automatically save the message every x minutes" preference set to 5.

1) go to a newsgroup, say mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey.
2) Start to compose a message.
3) Wait around 5 minutes.  A message pops up.

   "There was an error saving the message to mailbox10b5ef27.  Retry?"
            [ OK ]  [ Cancel ]

4)  Clicking OK repeats the message again and again.
5)  Click on Cancel, closes the dialog but the same message appears again.
   Step 5 Is repeated after six to ten times and then it disappears and
   SeaMonkey crashes.

If I uncheck the "Automatically save.." preference it doesn't do that.
But clicking on Save Message repeats the error until SeaMonkey crashes.

Once crashed, the message composition window disappears and the message
is lost.

Addendum:

Actually, the newsgroup is important.  

News Server : news.digital-metaphors.com

Posting to digital-metaphors.public.reportbuilder.general

Also, I need to clarify step 5).

Clicking on Cancel the first time produces:

  Unable to save your message as draft. Please verify
  that your Mail & Newsgroup acount settings are 
  correct and try again.

Clicking OK, then displays the "There was an error saving the message
to..."  error and clicking on Cancel repeats this until SM crashes.
