Description David Elwell 2004-12-02 04:25:29 UTC

When I select "forward" or "compose," balsa shuts down. Message is:

Application "balsa" has quit unexpectedly

Comment 1 Pawel Salek 2004-12-02 07:09:13 UTC

1. can you report balsa version? Was it a binary or self-compiled source? Which
distribution?
2. Can you start balsa from console and report what is being printed there?

Comment 2 David Elwell 2004-12-03 03:29:23 UTC

1. balsa version is 2.2.4, RPM installed with Fedora Core 3.

2. Here's what the console showed from startup to crash after I hit "compose"
(please pardon all the mailbox files):
