Happened again. No thoughts on why this might happen?

I've had this happen a few times, quite some time ago, and I had to go to the
mail server or web mail interface and delete the offending emails. They each
had attachments, but I never figured out why they crashed PowerMail.

I've found that keeping the mail item in PM or webmail doesn't always keep all
the info needed to reproduce the problem.
Apple's "Mail" does seem to keep it all. You can use Message->Forward as
Attachment or View->Message->Raw Source to get the full message as received.
That might be more helpful.
