Bug#529596: [icedove] very slow in opening mails with big attachments and incorrect MIME type

[Giovanni Mascellani]

Package: icedove
Version: 2.0.0.19-1
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Sometimes I receive email messages sent by poor clients which, for
instance, have big PDF attachments with MIME type incorrectly set to
"text/html". Icedove tries to display inline the PDF as HTML, so it
hangs for a few minutes loading the message. This is quite annoying.

Icedove should refuse to show inline too big HTML or plain text
attachment and ask the user if he really want to do so.

I'm setting the severity to "normal" and not to "wishlist", because this
bug makes icedove unusable for a while because of remote errors.

Thank you for your work on icedove. :-)

Regards, Giovanni.
