It does seem that until Apple releases another few more security
updaters for OSX.3.9 that it's Mail.app may get updated from it's
current version of 1.3.11 (v622/623)(or have we been dropped by
the wayside already?). Now, although I find it comforting that I'm
not alone on this problem of unique mails crashing Mail, I'd very
much like to figure out if the problem just might be connected
somehow to my choices in Mail's Preferences like in my chosen
use of Fonts(Courier, Helvetica, and Monaco for fixed-width) or
their sizes(all set at 14), or that I haven't chosen to download
(view) imbedded images in HTML mail, or any mix of the above that
would cause these crashes and Inbox corruption to occur simply
upon the downloading(or receipt in Inbox?), any thoughts and/or
ideas to enable the(my) preferred/continued use of Apple Mail
(hopefully without the troubles) would be very much welcomed and
highly appreciated. TIA
