I love it!  I've just compiled, and it not only works, but it solves  
some problems I have been having for a while.

With the previous few versions, clicking to download images in the html  
view always crashed balsa.  I've just tried every message I still have  
that did this, and they all display fine.   I also had a bunch of  
messages with badly formed html which used to crash balsa - they all  
display fine now.

I'm using Gentoo, so if anyone wants a copy of the modified ebuild I  
used, just ask, although it was minimal changes from the portage  
version for 2.4.13.

One possible question though - I used webkitgtk, and the ebuild seems  
to specify using version 2.  However, it is actually linking to  
libwebkitgtk-3.0.so.0 which I think is for gtk3, as I also have  
libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0.  I'll have to go back and recreate the configure  
logs to confirm, but if I'm right, it means I'm using gtk+-3.4.4 (the  
latest stable for me in Gentoo) which seems like another "good thing."
