Glad to know that that was the problem!
It's just by good timing that I suspected that may be the problem -- someone else had a report of crashing a couple weeks ago (although it was a different action that caused it then viewing an HTML message) that we determined to be a memory issue. In fact, in my tests, I'm able to squeeze out a few hundred more MBs of message data before a problem occurs. Certainly the amount of message data is the leading contributor, but there are other factors involved and I'm not quite sure what the "magic number" is -- that's why I could only give you a rough estimate of "1 GB" -- and, of course, that would be the overall size of all the databases and not necessarily from a single account.
I will take your suggestion under advisement, though. It would certainly be a good warning for an imminent problem.
