[Macpartners] Possible Problem with Mail and 10.3.9

[Carolyn Fuller]

Hi all,

I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. I've been too busy for the last 2 
weeks to do anything about this issue. If I encountered the problem 
with a single piece of email, I'd just go to another email message. 
When I returned to the problem email, the problem was gone! This has 
been working since I broke down and upgraded to 10.3.9.

Today I encountered the problem with ALL of my email! So I just quit 
Mail and went on with other work. The quitting process took close to 30 
minutes! But the problem was gone when I relaunched Mail. But this 
"hang" caused all of my filtering (including Mail.app SPAM filters) to 
go south! What I came to realize is how much Mail.app is filtering out 
SPAM that Spam Assassin is missing!
