When you open, or even just select, a message with a *.gpx file attached, then Thunderbird goes very slow for about 20 to 30 seconds. After this the E-mail does open correctly.

Thunderbird : 38.2 ( but similar in previous versions ) Headers : just simple Message text : 1 normal character line Attachment : about 1 kb text file, XML formatted.

Hi Matt

Thanks for the thought, just to check, I've tried with AV turned off, same symptom.

If anyone would like, I can forward a sample *.gpx file to you.
