CDE Mailer Appears to Hang While Displaying Email With Long Lines (4418793)

If you try to read an email message with many long lines in any of the Solaris 9 12/02 Unicode or UTF-8 locales, CDE Mailer (dtmail) appears to hang. The message does not display immediately.

Workaround: Choose one of the following workarounds.

• Enlarge the dtmail Mailbox window to accommodate 132 columns.

• Disable the Complex Text Layout feature by following these steps.

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Change directories to your system's locale directory.

     # cd /usr/lib/locale/locale-name

     In the previous example, locale-name refers to the name of your system's Solaris 9 12/02 Unicode or UTF-8 locale.

  3. Rename the locale layout engine category.

     # mv LO_LTYPE LO_LTYPE-

     ---

     Note -

     Rename the category for the locale layout engine to the original name (LO_LTYPE) before you apply any patches to the locale layout engine.
