  Oh crap... of course it does fix it. I'm feeling so stupid, especially 
since the very same mistake already happened to me with the
previous program no more than 2 days earlier and I had found and fixed it 
in 30 seconds...

  Well, thanks for your eyesight and sorry for the inconvenience :-/

  But wouldn't it be possible to fail more gracefully (even better, when 
the first GMime function is called), rather than segfault on a
random later function call?
  Or you assume that the user has a few working braincells, as you do now. 
It makes sense too :-)


Goodbye,
