 I wasn't able to reproduce exactly this bug but I could reproduce and fix
2 other ones:

1. if the new message appeared not at the very end of the list (e.g.
   because of threading), the display got corrupted and M could crash

2. if a new but already read message appeared in the folder, M didn't
   see it at all and could crash as well

The most annoying thing is that fixes for both bugs were completely
trivial, too... But I don't lose hope that there is another, more serious,
bug responsible for the original bug report lurking somewhere <grin>

 Nerijus, do you still see the original problem with the latest cvs?

 Thanks!
