Re: Could not save a text part: Internal error in get_stream

[JohnJackDoe tele2 de]

Dear list members,
Dear Jack,

Many thanks for the support.
I think I learned a lot about
- building balsa. Thanks to Albrecht.
- git. Thanks to Jack.

Balsa 2.5.3a-50-gb1d9b4c is working and saving retrieved mail. All  
versions above don't compile with POP3 failures or don't save retrieved  
mails. Is this helpful now to isolate the failure?

Best regards,
Joh Jack Doe
