[Bug 85616] Thunderbird crashed while trying to open a message.

[Paul S. Muhly]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

My problem seems to be similar to the bug report #71604, although I did
not do as much as that person seems to have done.  I simply opened my
Thunderbird window, viewing my IMAP account.  The inbox contains about
1000 messages (I know, I am a slob in terms of maintaining my e-mail).
When I click on a message to read it, Thunderbird tries to open it for a
while, but then completely shuts down.  This has happened a number of
times.  I have done a complete removal of the program with Synaptic (I
am using Ubuntu) and then reinstalled it.  That does not seem to help.
I also completely removed the program and then loaded up Xubuntu, which
uses Thunderbird by default.  That did not help either.

I have Thunderbird running on several computers (all in an Ubuntu
environment - in some cases, it is Kubuntu or Xubuntu) and this is the
only one which acts this way.  So I am prepared to believe that it is a
quirk of the machine, but I cannot identify what the problem is.

In any case, thanks for your attention to my problem.

Sincerely,

Paul Muhly
