I've been in contact with the person who maintains (doesn't maintain?) the
GtkText widget, and the bad news is that none of this will be fixed.
There will be a replacement for GtkText, but AFAIK, it's not yet ready.

There are a couple of other Text widgets, but none are terribly well
suited to balsa.  (I know that an editable HTML widget is being developed
using the version that's in gnome-fm if I recall correctly).

This is somewhat amusing -- I looked at full headers in Pine, and
"recipient list not shown" seems to be sent from gnome.org to tell us that
we're on a mailing list.  (In other words, I don't think this is a balsa
issue, although we could certainly 'work around' it.)

BTW, Hector pointed out to me that the new patch that fixes the failure to
check the local mailbox that's currently selected causes problems with the
checking of Inbox during mail retrieval -- I'll look at it and commit some
stuff for send.c tomrrow I hope.  (I've had to put this off several times
because of other projects, but I might have some free time tommorow
morning.)
