OK, there seem to be a couple of issues here:

1.  The invalid utf8 warning shouldn't happen.  Could you run  
Balsa --g-fatal-warnings to trigger a stack trace for the  
warning?

2.  The libbalsa_message_body_get_content_type code checks for  
NULL strings, so the segv is presumably caused by passing a non- 
NULL but still invalid address to strlen.  The string addresses  
come from the libmutt backend, which makes it harder to debug.

The second issue doesn't affect the 2.1 series, but I'd like to  
look into the first.  If you don't mind sharing the message, or  
you can find an inoffensive one that triggers the same errors,  
could you post it?

Thanks!
