perfect timing
Authored by: ragnar on Nov 13, '03 11:42:00AM

I'll share this in case it is helpful to others. This morning I discovered a bug in Mail.app that causes it to crash when receiving a digitally signed (via Verisign) message from an Outlook 2003 (windows) user. The crash happens when selecting the message, which makes it impossible to delete. I submitted a bug report to Apple.

The hint above made it possible to delete the offending message, which remained marked as a new message. Annoying, to say the least. At least now it is out of the way.

Actually, it's pretty easy to select messages without opening them -- just drag the preview window all the way down. If there's no preview window, it doesn't open the message when you select it.

not sure if this will help, but if you selected the message right above the offending message, then shift-select the offending message, you should be able to delete them both without crashing...i do that with spam when i do not want the images loaded.

hope this helps!
