Mail app crashes in El Capitan when receiving certain e-mails

Here is the solution:

Open Mail app while pressing Shift on the keyboard, do not click on any left-side tab (inbox etc.). Just go directly to Preferences... in Mail menu, then under Viewing tab check Use classic layout.


And the issue disappears. After that you can uncheck that classic layout again if you wish and you'll be fine.
