OFB Community Mailing Lists

I'm not sure, so I'd like some better educated input. Running my old  
laptop, there are some messages on this list that send my CPU into spin  
cycle for quite a long period. It doesn't matter which graphical mail  
client I use, some messages will freeze the GUI for about 5-10 seconds (or  
longer) and the CPU slogs away until the screen finally refreshes and I  
can read it. At one point some time ago, I recall seeing some messages  
posted in 64-bit MIME or something, and I knew that took uudecode and lots  
of energy, but this is really dragging things down.

My current system (RH 7.3, fully updated) isn't handling this well,  
whatever it is. Any ideas?
