Large text emails fail to show in .2-Beta

Description
If a text email is fairly large (For example, 5 megs), roundcube will sit there attempting to display it but then just fail and show a white screen.
I consider this major, as, well, it's not doing what its core functionality is, displaying email.

I'm afraid I can't do that, as my logwatch email is the one that is > 5 megs in size, and it contains quite a bit of personal server/customer information.
However, in the process of testing this just now it appears that this happens in Firefox 3 but not Internet Explorer 7. When viewing an all-text email that roundcube reports as 5.6MB in size, IE 7 will load the whole message but Firefox will try for about 5 seconds and then give up and all I see is a blank white screen.

Perhaps i can help out with sample emails perfectly reproducing the mentioned problem of not displaying emails.
Though in this case they are not really that big (~60k), and they're of type "multipart/mixed" (still text-only).
I am receiving the daily update digests (newsletter) of freshmeat.net (http://freshmeat.net/newsletter/), which i consider to belong to the "more popular sites". Those digests are not displayed in roundcube, no matter which version i tried (0.1.x, 0.2.x, svn).
I did not manage to identify any log entry yet, no warning, no error - it simply does not show.
However, if using "show source" in roundcube, the email-source is shown completely...
So far, different versions of PHP (5.1.x, 5.2.6) also did not make a difference...

jleg, you can save the source text of the message and attach it here for examination

Issue confirmed. Thunderbird can display it. RC cannot display the body of the message.

Please complain to freshmeat admins, the message is malformed.
Duplicate of #1485429.
The Mime-Version header is set on a mixed part, not on the message as a whole.

- Resolution set to wontfix

Closing it - browser issue. Maybe we should display big messages in chunks.
Please provide a sample message.
