certainly not! <mode=yokel> Oi might be dump but Oi ain't stoopid! </mode> ;)
It was always a case of (1) check the filter in balsa, (2) quit balsa, (3) check
the $HOME/.gnome/balsa file, (4) edit that file and remove the bogus conditions,
(5) restart balsa

I'll be certain to give it a go. What I'm working on at the moment is trying
to get my environment up to scratch for building from CVS -- you guys-n-gals
with linux development environments have all the tools installed already, and 
with my solaris box I have to go and hunt them down (docbook, cvs, gnome-docbook-tools
yadda yadda....) before I can get started. I'm nearly there though....
