Opening three such messages caused the application to become unresponsive for nearly five minutes.  The problem seems to have to do with highlighting the links. I'm guessing either that it's checking the links somehow, or using an n^2 algorithm to discover them. I realize that this is more an indication of Apple Mail's pathetic-ness than anything else, but I propose that drdr emails could be truncated after the first 500 lines or so, with the full text on the web site.
