I know, it's weird! Both versions were downloaded from the official
Balsa homepage. That's why I can't say if the two versions were build with
the same options. What I should say is that I still use Gnome 2.2 on Mandrake
9.1. But I cant imagine that it has something to do with this problem.

I didn't attached the logfile. Although it is compressed, it is too big for  
the mailinglist-filter (56kB). Should I send the file directly to you? (I  
don't have any Webspace.) Somewhere in the file I found this message:

open("/var/spool/mail/uwe", O_RDONLY)   = 24

but I don't know why it comes up... :-/

Thank you, Uwe.
