Segfault at startup was only due to the old .balsarc, removing it cured
the problem (this *must* be in the README file or maybe is it possible to
integrate a work-around in the code)

The only case of segfault that still occurs is while sending mail.
Note: not in balsa-0.6.0, only with the cvs-version that means there's
something in the CVS modifications that broke the Reply-to extraction

I agree, I made this patch so as to be able to send mail again. As I
mentioned in the previous mail I wasn't able to debug the full GDB output
but I don't think this will be hard for a developper either.

yes, systematicaly

>Does it happen if you set the language to  English?  

I will make some more tests but yes this happens with english too

>Are you using SMTP? sendmail?  Are you using multi-threaded

Using postfix , this is treads independent, failed in both cases
