The problem is more complicated and seen by everybody, I believe.

The problem is, the "size_request" signal _seems_ to have different 
semantics for gtkhtml widget (different than for example gtktext). I tried 
to trace calls to  balsa_gtk_html_size_request() but I have impression it 
is necessary to have a look at gtkhtml handling of this signal as well.

One can  remove following line from balsa_gtk_html_size_request()

requisition->width += GTK_LAYOUT(widget)->hadjustment->upper;

to make the gtkhtml widget adjust to the preview size more often - but 
when it contains elements of size bigger than the preview window, the 
scrollbar will not be shown.

Sections of GGAD are very helpful in general but I could not resolve this 
problem after the reading anyway.
