I'm having the same issue. Even worse, e-mails that are HTML only are
displayed blank since there's no plain text fallback. Up till now as a
workaround I rolled back to version balsa-2.5.3-7 which worked fine but
now I've upgraded my distro to Fedora 29 I'm unable to because that
version is not provided any more in the repository.

It would be nice if the dev can provide some information on what has
changed between these versions to get an idea on what is causing this
problem. Or is it an issue with Fedora?

(It's a major issue to me since 1/3 of the e-mails I receive these days
are HTML only :( )
