Since upgrading to 3.0, I've had an intermittent problem in which
the Delete, Compose, Mailboxes, and Find buttons (as well as the
arrow buttons) occasionally cease to function in Mail.app.  Nothing
at all happens when I try to click on them.  I have to restart
mail, and then everything's fine again.

Anyone else have this?  Anyone know why?

I have this happen all the time.   I mostly get it when I read a email message from a
particular mailing list I was on (Computers in Composition, ironically enough).  I have
since signed off that list and have had no more problems.  The solution is obviously that
NeXTmail interprets the beginning of some mail messages in a wonky way...or at least that
is what it seems to be to me.
