The messages themselves are only a few hundreds of KB, and the hang  
happens even if I manually move one to be the only message in an mbox  
file, so it's not size.  I've waited over ten minutes once or twice  
just to check that possibility.  Also, I do have some very large  
folders, but in those cases, there is a delay before it even starts  
displaying the first message.  In these cases, it displays a bit of the  
message and then stops responding.

Responding to Peter's earlier message, I see I have previously had  
similar problems with webkit, although I have a vague memory that I  
moved to webkit from gtkhtml for pretty much the same reason.  I'm  
currently working on upgrading my webkit to the latest, and then I'll  
try the patch pointed to by Peter's link.
