I am not sure whether this is related to a specific message content. I 
just did a little testing and opening a reply for the same message is 
sometimes instant and sometimes I have to wait as described. The very 
long wait times as seldom but there were a few times that I have thought 
that MM hang up. The drive has over 60 GB free, so the space should be 
enough. It is MacBook Pro with 2,2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 16 GB 
memory, so not exactly a slouch.
