This is known gtkhtml2 problem. They seemed to work on this but I am not sure whether this bug got finally fixed or not.
The e-mail is in Hebrew. This is a reply to a message I sent somebody, but he couldn't read it (it appears as ????? instead of Hebrew). When clicking on it in main window (no preview pane), balsa crashes. I also noticed the e-mail I was sending was not saved okay in the sentbox as well. The problem is that currently the Language menu in the Compose window has no Hebrew (he_IL.UTF-8) locale. This makes my message marked as ISO-8859-2 (the default), while it actually contained UTF-8 characters. When I add Hebrew to the menu (I change sendmsg-window.c for that), I can send normal Hebrew e-mails, read them, and have them saved correctly in the sentbox again. So the solution is twofold: 1. Change sendmsg-window.c to contain Hebrew. 2. Check why balsa crashes when unexpected (UTF-8) coding is marked erronously as ISO-8859-2.
I'm afraid it is not yet fixed. Ariel, if you could append your comments to the 'original' bug it would be very helpful. Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 83085 ***
Thgis bug should have been marked as a duplicate of the wrong bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 86657 ***
Many gtkhtml2 bug fixed since then. Assuming this one has gone away as well.
