balsa does not show emails in color when viewing HTML email.
I filed a bug upstream at:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314291
which was resolved.
The resolution was to allow --with-gtkhtml flag for configure to be able to pick
a specific version of libgtkhtml to compile against. Currently balsa builds with
libgtkhtml3 by default, however, libgtkhtml3 does not display color in HTML
email messages. Therefore, to be able to view color emails, balsa needs to be
forced to be built with libgtkhtml2.
I don't know the syntax for .ebuilds so, I just tweaked the current balsa ebuild
and replaced:
G2CONF="${G2CONF} \
$(use_with ssl) \
$(use_with ldap) \
$(use_with sqlite) \
$(use_with kerberos gss) \
$(use_with gnome) \
$(use_enable gtkhtml) \
$(use_enable threads) \
$(use_enable pcre) \
"
with:
G2CONF="${G2CONF} \
$(use_with ssl) \
$(use_with ldap) \
$(use_with sqlite) \
$(use_with kerberos gss) \
$(use_with gnome) \
$(use_enable threads) \
$(use_enable pcre) \
"
G2CONF="${G2CONF} --with-gtkhtml=2"
Someone more knowledgable can perhaps make a local "color" USE flag to force the
use of libgtkhtml2?
