Investigation
Preprocessing of the mail is blowing up with large ones.
The preprocessing we do with "swift soup" is blowing up not in a manner I can quickly optimize.
Proposed solution
Therefore I used an heuristic to disable preprocessing of emails larger than 5meg.
Works like a charm, email is still displayed resonably well, and some other mail clients use this trick.
