An Undocumented Feature Of Apple Mail

An Apple Mail undocumented feature that I can do without: Randomly shooting up to 100% CPU at least 3-4 times a day. After much googling (and following many dead ends) I’ve decided to blame Apple Mail’s data detectors. Type the following on the command line:

defaults write com.apple.mail DisableDataDetectors YES

Restart Mail, and no more 100% CPU.
