The Recover/Ignore dialog was introduced because certain pathological
messages could cause problems with Evo, including crashing and soaking
up all your cpu (remember that Evo includes an engine for showing HTML
message inline). "Recover" means "start with the preview panel closed so
I don't try to display the current message". "Ignore" means "forget
about safety, just restore the preview panel to its last known state".

Crashing with the Recover button is of course a bug.
