[P1] Mail weird, p. 2

[Alexandre Leroux]

Hi Don,

Dunno if this will help you, but here is two regular crashes I had with 
Mail that I got fixed.

A) Mail doesn't wanting to quit. It seemed related to the modem 
connection. Mail was looking to connect while my modem was 
disconnected. Needed to force quit Mail half of the time. Fixed by 
upgrading to Panther.

B) (this fix might be more useful) Mail was systematically crashing on 
some messages. Fixed by trashing (reinitializing) the spam settings in 
Mail preferences. Now Mail works fine.


Good luck.

Alex :-)
