I don't think that there are any settings that you can change to make 
Mail less susceptible to malicious messages that might crash it.  But I 
wouldn't run with HTML mail enabled.  For one thing, that leaves you open 
to the spam tactic of sending you an e-mail with a link to a one-pixel 
graphic.  Once your open that e-mail, the graphic is accessed, and the 
spammer knows that yours is a ripe address for spamming.

I don't know that Mail.app is any more or less susceptable to crashes due 
to malicious e-mail than any other e-mail client.  If it doesn't crash 
often on you, I would just be happy and stick with it.
