Re: certain emails crash balsa for me

[Timothy Flechtner <Timothy Flechtner tellabs com>]

hi,
  thanks for your (very quick) response!  i tried changing the text in
the box for 'quoted text regular expression' to '[' (although i have no
idea what any of that is about), and since, i haven't found an email
that crashes the app.  i tried both of the supplied strings, and with
either chosen, crash.  do i need to tweak something in regex?

thanks!
