The message renders in the content pane before hanging. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Works for me on Linux, albeit it slow. Reporter can you do a 'strace' on your mozilla binary to see what's happening or even gdb with the binary and process id and then a stacktrace.
Ah, it seems that the nature of the bug is a little different from what i thought. The "hang" seems to happen only when i try to expand the recipient list (which is rather long) in the headers. And it's not really a hang, it just takes almost all of the CPU cycles for a while, but after a long wait, CPU cycles go back to normal. Since this bug is different, i'll search for a duplicate. I'll either change the summary line or the bug should be marked invalid. (What i'm seeing is still a bug, since it shouldn't eat all of my CPU cycles for such a long time just to parse/render the recipient list.) But... just in case this bug is not invalid, i'll attach the strace. I don't have any experience with either gdb or strace. So, if you need something more than what i'm attaching, please give me explicit instructions (with any flags i need to know about).
Changing summary from "viewing this e-mail message hangs Mozilla" to "expanding long recipient list slow and hogs CPU cycles", until i have time to see whether this bug is a duplicate of something else.
Summary: viewing this e-mail message hangs Mozilla → expanding long recipient list slow and hogs CPU cycles
So this is a followup bug to bug 64764.
