occasional hang when opening .doc attachment from OS X Mail
Posted: 2004-03-05 07:38:27
I'm using NWE 1.1.2, with OS X 10.2.8, on an iMac G4/800/512Mb.
Occasionally when I open up a .doc attachment from within Mail, NWE just hangs with a menu bar and spinning beachball. It never displays the "converting to RTF" message, and it just refuses to get killed. Force quit from the dock, from the force quit window, process viewer or plain kill from the terminal - all do absolutely nothing. I can't sleep, shut down or restart my mac, although I can use any other app. Pressing the switch for 5 seconds is the only way to kill the thing. Has anyone else seen this? I never seem to have problems if I save the attachment to my documents folder and open it from there.
Thanks
Martin
