This is likely to be Tk searching through the fonts in your X server Desperately trying to find a way to display the gb2312 character set. One could imagine filtering against these kinds of messages in the MIME handling. I'm not sure how to get Tk to not try so hard to Display characters.

As soon as you open the message, the X server goes to 100% CPU and stops responding. Killing exmh at that point has no effect and I have to kill the X server to recover. Quite anti-social behavior... The interesting thing is that this happens with LANG=en_US.UTF-8 but not when I unset LANG. My current workaround is to just unset LANG before I start exmh. This is the only message I've seen that causes this behavior but I have received this same junk message several times over the past couple weeks so it was getting quite annoying. Anyone have any idea what might be causing this? This is with a fully up2date RHEL4 system.
