The warning is unconditionally coded into g_mime_content_type_new(),so you cannot suppress it without patching GMime and reinstalling from source. In your case, it seems to result from calling g_mime_content_type_new(type, subtype) with type either NULL or empty, and subtype NULL. I'm guessing that each offending message has a malformed Content-type header--perhaps you could hand-edit them.
I would if I knew which ones were affected...
Balsa calls that function only with fixed, non-NULL and non-empty strings, so the warnings are not raised directly by the way Balsa uses GMime. Balsa does use g_mime_content_type_new_from_string(), which presumably uses g_mime_content_type_new() internally. Perhaps Balsa could check the string before passing it to GMime--could you run Balsa with the --g-fatal-warnings command-line option to trigger a stack trace? We might be able to figure out how to handle it.
(abbreviated) stack trace attached. It's ineed g_mime_content_type_new_from_string() that calls g_mime_content_type_new(), eliciting the warning.
If balsa could either offer to rewrite messages missing the content- type, or silently ignore them, that would probably be the better solution: sadly missing content-type in messages is a very common occurance.
I also often get the following while retreiving messages (possibly in the filtering stage): ** (balsa:28801): CRITICAL **: file mailbox.c: line 1692 (libbalsa_mailbox_messages_move): assertion `msgnos->len > 0' failed
however, I couldn't get a trace: enabling --g-fatal-warnings and running under gdb, the mail checker thread would just block forever, while balsa kept on going.. maybe a non-threaded build would help with that.
