Re: Unidentified subject! (Two Balsas crash)

[Mike Palczewski <mpalczew u washington edu>]

sorry for all these emails.  balsa crashed every time I tried to send this.
it popped up a dialog saying cannot send e-mail then crashed.  Here is the 
info with the debug option on.  I hit reply to all and wrote this email.
I think one of the users in the reply to all option didn't exist.
