I have built the code from the latest CVS.
There are many weird bugs showing up when doing things
like pasting links into a message.  I have noticed things
like the ends of a URL being repeated multiple time beneath
the text. Like this:

  http://fdg.fdsgf.org/dsfgfdsg/fdsg/dfsg/ffdjkgfd/fdsgs
                                             jkgfd/fdsgs
                                             jkgfd/fdsgs
                                             jkgfd/fdsgs

Scrolling up and down makes these lines disappear.
I think some of this weirdness only happens when the body
of text that is being pasted into is all formatted as
"Preformat".

There are other things, like URLs not turning blue when I paste
them.  The turn blue when I place the cursor at the end of the
URL and hit Enter.

Also, sometimes when I attempt to paste a URL, the first time
I try, what is pasted is whatever I had previously copied
into the X buffer by highlighting some text.  The second
attempt of highlighting the new text and then pasting
(middle button) pastes the correct text.

I'm sure there is more.  But that is what I noticed with
the last massage I was composing.
