  Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
  
  I am on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper). Linux localhost 2.6.15-28-686 #1 SMP
  PREEMPT Thu Feb 1 16:14:07 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux. Gnome.
  
  I updated my system on 2 March 2007 to thunderbird 1.5.0.9 (20070104). I
  also updated to the latest of all the available packages.
  
  I connect to my IMAP folder, and try to forward emails from a folder of
  my inbox, i.e. Inbox.temp folder.
  
  I can open the email fine. 
  If I try to forward it, my CPU maxes out, and thunderbird hangs.
  This happens when I forward the email directly without opening it, also.
  This also happens when I start thunderbird in safe mode (mozilla-thunderbird -safe-mode)
  I have to kill thunderbird in order to get my system back.
  
  This was not a problem at all until the last upgrade.
+ 
+ --- Possible test case to test:
+ create a very large text file, for example a backup of a mysql database (sql, plain text). I was able to replicate this with less than 100K records in a csv file.
+ Attach it to a email and send it to yourself.
+ open it. try to reply or forward.
+ your cpu should max out for several minutes trying to process the message.
