Congratulations, Peter !

I'm writing this from balsa built with gtk+-3.8.0 (and friends).

Congrats to you, too, for persevering with the build!

This is a thread enabled build (I think so, at least).

That's the default.

And it's built with webkit-gtk-2.0.0.

Did you configure --with-html-widget=webkit2?  The default is webkit (aka webkit1).  Webkit2 is still 
experimental (initial checkin was March 24), but seems quite solid.

Now, I'm waiting for the first email containing html code to check this new webkit.

Many, many thanks, Peter!

Here, there first unusal points:
 - While copying an email address from an old email, I've selected (drawing the left mouse button)
   something in the Recipients field. The selected text was blanked out instead of highlighted.

Drat!  Fallout from phasing out GtkViewport.  I'll push a fix.

 - Trying to change 'To:' to 'Cc:' I've tried to get the pull down menu when pressing onto the little down 
arrow next to the
   'To:' field. This doesn't work, i.e. no action at all. So, currently, I cannot turn a 'To:' into a 'Cc:' 
or is there another means
   apart from this pull-down menu?

That's a lingering issue; the combo box menu and the down arrow are packed in a single GtkCellRenderer, and in Gtk2 
that made them a single clickable object: you could click on either the 'To:' string or the arrow, and the menu would 
drop down.  Gtk3 has "improved" GtkCellRenderer so that each object is separately clickable, and currently 
clicking the arrow does nothing; clicking the string should drop down the menu.  Note to self: fix it, or eliminate the 
impotent arrow.

Thanks again for testing the branch!

Peter
