I've been getting some strange spam lately. While Thunderbird doesn't seem to have problems, it crashes my Mac OS X Mail. Each time I open the Junk mail box, the application crashes with Sorting messages displayed on the status line. It doesn't respond to the Quit command and I have to use the Force quit from the Apple menu.

The solution I found at this time is to ctrl-click on Junk mailbox and select Delete junk mail. Mail will crash anyway, but next time I open it, the Junk mailbox is empty and the nasty mails are gone.

I'll see if I can find the specific message that causes this.
