This is a problem with some variation on multipart alternative messages...need to figure out what the issue is here...sounds like a good project for my plane ride home. :-) - rhp

This actually turned out to be two different issues. - The first issue was when a sender has a "&" in their name.. this broke the XUL being emitted - The second issue was that an an internal buffering mechanism of libmime that creates temp files when buffers get really big. The temp file name being generated was NULL so after fixing that, it works. - rhp
