There are similar reports about Tahoe Mail, but Apple will not see them here. Pleas use:


Feedback - Mail - Apple


to let Apple know.


Some have reported that going into FontBook and disabling the offending font, in your case Helvetica compressed, has stopped the issue.


Still, tell Apple so they can look into this/
