I had the same problem recently. $20 says it's a problem with one or
more of your fonts (or how XFree deals with them). I did have xfstt
running and removing it didn't help, so I walked through the list of TT
fonts on my system and some of them crashed my X server. The reason why
certain mails crash it is because it explicitly references those fonts.
It took me a while, but I found the problem by firing up a bare X
session and running gfontsel and walking through the list of fonts until
it crashed my X server. Delete the font, regenerate the font list with
ttmkfdir, repeat.
