Patch that fixes the problem

This patch fixes the crash problem. I don't understand 100% why this happen with the particular email, but a quick test of the application didn't reveal any regressions because of this patch.

Thanks for the patch - it seems there was a address group specified in one of the message headers (TO, CC) - look for semicolon characters.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2021-06-01 22:42:43 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/balsa/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
