        Hi,
it's not when checking the mail, but when viewing it. I suppose the
message is large, thus it takes it to some time to pre/post-process it.
The problem might not necessarily be in the WebKitGTK, it can be what
the message preview does there. Long logs use to cause these oddities.

The place you read the message content is covered by the WebKitGTK.
Everything is converted into HTML for viewing (and writing).

You can try shorter logs/reports, but that doesn't scale.

Ehm, which bugzilla is that, please? Links to the bugs, instead of the
numbers, are better and unique.

        Bye,
