When I tried to open a (what I am assuming to be) *huge* html email, the
whole emacs session crashes and exits.  I use the native gnus
mail-sources pop to get my email.

Thanks a bunch for your great work!

I'm going to guess the email has an emjoi in it?  Please try the test in

And if that's not the case, we'd need a C-level backtrace from the
crash, and preferably also the offending email message.

Thanks.

The email does not have emoji in it, but it has unicode characters.

Thatʼs an indication that this is Bug#30874 again, but not
proof. Could you try the debug commands that Noam pointed to?

Thanks
