Was using Mail fine this morning...quit the app. and now, it won't open.

The icon bounces a few times then...that's it - have to "force quit."

Tried restarting.

Tried Disc utilitity.

Any other clues?

Add any fonts lately? That was my last fix to this.... remove >3K of fonts from ~/Library/Fonts and Mail & Safari worked again.
