[MlMt] MM crashes often on M1 macbook pro

Just upgraded my laptop to a new M1 MacBook pro, and I am sad to say 
MailMate is hardly useful because it frequently crashes while composing 
messages.  I’ve sent a few crash reports to apple but I thought it was 
worth once writing you as well.

Seems to have to do with the time spent editing.  I can send any number 
of short emails, like those requiring editing less than 60 seconds.

But when I am spending more time editing, like a few minutes or more, it 
is likely to hang on the spinning beachball.  I thought maybe it was 
crashing on saving the draft, because on every case the draft was up to 
date after restarting.  But then one counterexample showed up.  I 
thought maybe it was from going several times to the start or middle of 
the message and inserting some text, but sometimes it crashed when 
typing straight from beginning to end without much editing.

Hopefully you can track this down because it’s one of my favorite apps 
of all time and I hate to give it up.  I didn’t have this problem on 
my old laptop.



thanks
Eli
