As I continue to dig myself a deeper hole with now both send and
receive problems (all semmingly inconsistent) with several email
addresses actually hosted by yahoo (or is it now verizon?) I seem to be
finding additional issues. (worst domain is frontier.com, intermediate
problems with sbcglobal.net, and least usually with yahoo.com)
With balsa compiled from git head, I see a strange behavior, viewing
plain text emails. When first displayed, most of the time, the message
appears "correctly" wrapped - that is wrapped shortly before the right
edge of the window. This is either in the message pane within the main
window, or if I open the message in it's own window. However, if I
make the window narrower, the message does not re-wrap. If I make it
wider, it does re-wrap to the larger width, but does not reverse the
process if I then make the window narrower again. Even stranger is
that I have found a small number of messages which start out wrapped at
what seems to be maybe a few words or few dozen characters wider than
the window. I have compiled with both gtkhtml4 and webkit2, with and
withouk gtksourceview, with no apparent difference. Switching to
another message and back resets to the starting situation. This is now
beginning to drive me crazy, as I can see no reason for this behavior.
I have no idea when it started happenning. I don't recall it with
vanilla 2.5.3, but really can't be certain.
The other issue I recently noticed is that ./configure is explicitly
looking for python-html2text, but my current version of that
application (2016.5.29) provides pyhtml2text. Creating a symlink lets
configure find it, so it's not a big issue for me, but I have no idea
whether balsa changed what it is looking for, or if the python piece
changed the name of what it installs. I don't have an older version
easily available for me to check. (I do have two newer versions
available, but both still marked as testing.)
As alwasy, thanks for any suggestions.
Jack
