Hi,

I got a spam mail that crashes Emacs (at least the one built from
the git master and 24.5 bundled with Cygwin).  The mail contains
a lot of mail addresses in the From: header like this:

From: user<at>greenstream.in
	ly.com,abehera<at>jmi.ac.in,Alana<at>jmpco.com,ahron<at>jmpeacecorps.gov,kyu<at>jmtek.com,campfijf<at>jmu.edu,cnrrao<at>jncasr.ac.in,jeffv<at>jndtho
	mas.com,calpolyslofellow<at>jnf.org,edwin.rainbow<at>jnled.nl,a728399<at>jnxjn.com,cf<at>job114.cc,jroberts<at>jobeshenderson.com,salishnavaja
	...

When trying to read it using Gnus, Gnus tries to fetch gravatar
image for each address, and those consecutive http accesses seem
to crash Emacs.  Here is a simplified code for `emacs -Q' to
reproduce the problem:

(progn
  (require 'gnus-gravatar)
  (require 'url)
  (with-temp-buffer
    (let ((url-cache-expire-time 0)
	  (gnus-article-buffer (current-buffer)))
      (insert "From:")
      (dotimes (i 255) (insert " foo <at> example.com.invalid,"))
      (insert "\n")
      (gnus-gravatar-transform-address "from" 'from-gravatar))))

`bt full' and xbacktrace are attached.  Thanks in advance.
