In Xfinity email, and I want to double click on an email in my list, I get the famous "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete." message. This seems to only occur if the email has attachments but not always. It's a little maddening. Thanks, Dave
