Right now, I have the preview pane disabled, I've always had it disabled. I don't like it. I usually read email by opening the first unread message in a pop up window, then deleting to go to the next message. And now that I've discovered how great it is to read the messages in the list threaded I don't want to have to change that to filter out messages from one person who occasionally uses stupid Outlook Express just because their messages ~might~ crash me, depending on which client was the source of the message.
I suppose that means one of three things:
1) Suck it up, and deal with it. So what if Thunderbird closes on me once in a while, it runs perfectly fine when I restart it, and it takes but a second to restart it.
2) Convince OOzy to stop using Outlook Express, however there may be a very good reason for the use of said evilness, like accessing email from a computer one is not allowed to install things on.
3) Take over the world and remove all Microsoft products by force. But I haven't gotten around to taking over the world yet, and that would be too much work.
Option one seems the best bet for me right now. Please let me know if anyone else has any ideas. Thanks!

To start, I'm running Thunderbird 0.6. I have all the mail from this list viewing threaded. I have found that when I open certain emails from the list, Thunderbird just up and closes itself. I've noticed the following things about all of the emails: They're always the start of a thread, they're always from OOzy. However, I've also noticed that not all emails that are the start of a thread from OOzy make Thunderbird close.
Funny you should mention that, as I had the same problem today, and on messages from the same party. With the preview pane enabled, clicking on the message would immediately shut down TB.
Since I can't open these emails at all, I can't see if there's anything about them that could be causing a problem with Thunderbird, so I don't know if there's a solution available to fix it. The two most recent emails which cause this problem for me at the ones titled "[newbie][HAB] 40 GB USB Drive" and "[newbie] What is Cooker?".
I don't recall now which message/thread it was, but it was from today. You can, of course, turn off the preview pane and then select the message and chose "View Source" ... I didn't have much time, but just for the heck of it I did that before deleting the message and IIRC the only thing that stood out to me in a quick scan of the headers was there was an odd (to me) charset defined there. I didn't have the time to research it further (and noted that none of the respondents in the thread mentioned any problem at the time, so I assumed it was just me :-)
If any one has any ideas what's causing this problem, and/or has any suggestions on how I can stop it from happening anymore, other than switching mail clients because I love Thunderbird, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Not sure if it's the charset or something else, but you could /try/ filtering on that header and sending those e-mails to an "Unsafe" folder or something, then view those in the folder with the preview pane off. Maybe?
