99930 - mail client hangs/crashes when displaying some mails (html)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 98626

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Harald Bender]

I newly installed Mozilla 0.9.4 Build 2001091303.
Now the mail client crashes when displaying 3 of my mails (html) stored with 
0.9.2. and 0.9.3 (no problems before):
When displaying one of these mails in preview, the preview work for this mail, 
but I cannot change to another mail. When selecting a mail in the list, the 
window title show the subject but that´s all. In most cases, Mozilla crashes at 
closing. Thats why yesterday I sent two times an error report via the talkback 
programm.
Tell me where to forward the mail or send in a zipfile.

I don´t know, where you are, but I think after that terrorism attacks last week 
all world aggree in condemning that despising of mankind. Let´s hope, that the 
american government find the right answer to that and don't initiate a new 
circle of violence.

This does not crash for me on 2001091403 Win2k. But while this message is
displayed (and not covered with another window), Mozilla is using 100% CPU.
Confirming.

Reporter could you confirm that this is still happening on the latest builds?
Does it actually crash or hang or just sit at 100%?

I have problems when scrolling through HTML e-mails as well. Sometimes it
chrashes and sometimes it freezes up the mail displayer (not sure if that is te
correct name).

It only happens with html mails with backgrounds. I have not seen it happen yet
with other mails.

I am using 1.1 nightly build of August 3.

I checked it again ... but it is that the cpu usages jumps to 100% and stays
there as long as u have a html e-mail open. It can be seen normally though (the
e-mail I mean)
When selecting another e-mail and then minimizing the mail client and maximizing
it again will allow you again to move on.
So it looks like it has only problems when displaying it

100% cpu usage when viewing mail messages with background is a known bug 98626.
I haven't uzipped the attached html msgs yet, but it they include backgrounds
then this is a dup of 98626.

It will not crash, but the mail's content looked not perfectly as Outlook, I
mean the animation.

Setting OS->All due to comment #8.

Yes, it has a bmp as its background. It won't crash now. Mark it as dup of 
98626.
