Yes - that's why I suggested you look at the crash log. ; )

Hm - there's lot of information. I just don't understand it...

Post only the most recent dated entry (should be only a couple pages long) of the crash log here and we'll take a look for you.

Here's the relevant portion of Martin's Mail crash log:

To me this looks like a crashing bug in Mail, but it's hard to discern what is causing the crash in this instance, other than it Mail is apparently attempting to display some kind of modal window just before the crash. I suppose it may be that Mail is attempting to display some unexpected data from a preferences file. Anyone else have any ideas?
