[MlMt] huge jumps in RAM use - anyone?

[Tim Lance]

I must say I haven’t seen it jump like it was since I wrote. I am 
suspecting there was some message in my inbox with a lot of “active” 
HTML elements? Possible? But wouldn’t that hold true for while 
they’re in Deleted Messages, too? I just “know” it happened while 
I had a certain message from BestBuy in my Inbox.

So it goes. Otherwise I’m finding that MailMate usually is using equal 
or less total RAM than Mail.app when I’m looking at it plus its 
related Mail Networking and Mail Web Content.

Thanks for checking.

Tim
