 If this is happening on only one message with a GPG/PGP mime signature
attachment most likely something to do with characters in the message 
is causing it to hang or corrupted. See if you can turn off the preview
pane and save the message to a text file. As a last resort you can move 
/usr/bin/gpg to /usr/bin/gpg-temp and open the message wher gpg processing
of the message will fail. Then you will have to move gpg-temp back to gpg. 
 If this is a gpg encrypted message you will have to try and decrypt it
using gpg from the command line so you can read the output from the program.

 I have dealt with a numbers of these on my mac.
