Hi Van Snyder,

I asked earlier (when you first asked this) if your cpu was maxed out.
You had replied with two of the twenty four cpus were. Have you tried
to remove the local mailbox and see if the issue still happens? It
sounds like Webkit is having an issue processing local mail. Hopefully
Milan will explain why Webkit is having issues with text files.
Sorry if you've tried this or all the MH accounts are remote. To me it
sounds like an issue I had with local log file emails causing the same
thing your experiencing.
