Balsa currently uses the Gnome printing libraries to print a message;
these are "heading towards planned deprecation"[1], so we should head

anyway, as it gives much better control of printing.
But...to print html message parts, Balsa must be built with gtkhtml3,
which uses the Gnome libraries. So unless/until gtkhtml3 is ported to
GtkPrint, we have the options:
1. Stick with Gnome printing and keep the ability to print html
parts;
2. Move to GtkPrint and lose the ability to print html parts;
3. I don't see a third option.
I would vote for 2 - I am not a big fan of HTML mail anyway, and
gtkhtml3 will most likely be ported to GtkPrint model one day.

PS. I think we have accumulated a number of patches since last release
and current CVS seems quite stable to me. Does anybody see problems
with CVS that should delay a next release?
