This fixes #950 which currently renders mail pretty much unusable and is an alternative to #973 that doesn't change the current design. I think it might be worth considering merging and releasing this or at least something similar to #973 since OS8 is still a bit away and in my testing it's not even yet fixed there (neither GTK3 nor GTK4) although some bug reports from webkit suggest it is 馃し

As per webkit documentation this

Force[s] Accelerated Compositing mode to be always off

While this is of course not an optimal solution I think it should be fine for the mail messages usecase.

This looks like a much better solution, in principle. I am getting a crash when running on OS8 (Early Access) though:

I'll try on OS7.1 later.

Seems to work OK on OS7.1, the only noticeable difference being a lag in displaying the contents of the message, which is tolerable under the circumstances.

Not sure whether OS8 issue needs fixing before merging though. Will there be another OS7.1 release?

Sounds like it鈥檚 worth releasing another version of Mail for OS 7 and we can worry about OS 8 specific issues after that :)
