Bug Description
Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
Hi! I got a problem with a thunderbird version 1.5.0.12 (20070604)
My account is on IMAP with SSL
When i click on some mails, thunderbird crashes.
At each time I try to read them, thunderbird crashes, and I notice than the mail is now marked as read.
(I have approximatively 4000 mails, but newer mails car be read)
I run thunderbird in a terminal, the terminal says:
>jeff@jeff-
>DOUBLE-CLICK: 400 --> -1 THRESHOLD: 8 --> -1 Segmentation fault
>jeff@jeff-
I don't know how to give more details on the crash, tried to create a "backtrace" but don't succeed (it says that mozilla-thunderbird is not an executable (and it's true as it is a bourne launching script))
If you explain me how to do, i will do.
I've selected "This bug is a security vulnerability" as a memory corruption could create some security holes.
In an other way, i give this repport to help the devel team, but i'd like to now if there is a more reliable way (text mode...) to run thunderbird in order to read the mail that causes the crash.
PS: I'm french, try to be clear in your answers please :-)

I got the same error if i try reply / forward / ... (right click on the email in the inbox list > contextual menu)
But I succed to save the mail on my disk (and i'm now able to read it with vi/gedit)
But the most interesting is here:
I TRIED TO ATTACH THE .EML FILE TO THIS BUG REPORT AND FIREFOX CRASHED (when i clicked on "open" in the file selection window)!
so i've created a .tar of this damned mail
enjoy it :-)
