Re: Could not save a text part: Internal error in get_stream

Dear list members,
Dear Albrecht,
Dear Peter,

The good news first: I build Balsa from GIT (2.5.3a-93-g9df15e6)  
yesterday and it is working!
Thanks a million to all of you for your support.

Peter, I should have pointed to the fact again that I'm using maildir  
only. So don't worry. In the past I used thunderbird as mail client and  
thunderbird uses the mbox file format. Because I didn't like this I  
then swapped to evolution which can import mbox and pst file format.  
The native file format used by evolution is maildir+. But I was not  
happy with the encryption capabilities of evolution and with text  
formatting because it has fixed line lengths or not formatting at all.  
I was looking for a mail client that has a formatting behaviour as I  
know it from outlook - flowed. So I stumbled over Balsa and I thought I  
should give it a try because it has all the capabilities I was looking  
for and it uses maildir. For me then it was very easy to copy my  
maildir+ files into a maildir structured directory. This is in short  
how I came to Balsa and maildir.
