Bug#568298: balsa: Infinite loop with empty quoted text regexp

["Karl O. Pinc" <kop meme com>]

Package: balsa
Version: 2.3.25-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

File->Preferences  Message display format (iirc)

Setting the regexp for quoted text to nothing
seems to put balsa into an infinite loop.
(At least when the current message has quoted
text.)

I want to turn off balsa's colorization and
change bars and other frobbing of quoted text.
Setting the regexp to the empty string
_should_ do this, but does not.

Ideally there'd be a checkbox so that the
default regexp could be left alone in the
event I want to turn quoted text frobbing
back on.

FWIW, I'm running balsa under kde at the moment.

Regards,

Karl
