Hi Jack:

I've finally got the git gtk3 branch compiled, but whenever it downloads new messages, I 
get a string of errors 'Could not convert HTML part to text: Failed to execute child 
process "" (No such file or directory)'.  That message is from libbalsa/html.c, 
with the failing function libbalsa_message_body_get_content.  I have no problem actually 
viewing HTML mime parts, and ldd doesn't show any missing libraries.  I also do not see 
any error messages on the console if run from command line.

Unfortunately, webkit does not have a method to convert the html contents of a 
mime part into plain text (like gtkhtml had).  Therefore, configure searches 
for any of the following html-to-text converters: python-html2text, 
html2markdown, html2markdown.py2, html2markdown.py3, html2text.  It should emit 
something like

checking for HTML... yes
checking for python-html2text... no
checking for html2markdown... /usr/bin/html2markdown

You can check the result by running

albrecht@deneb:~/Balsa/git/balsa-gtk3$ grep HTML2TEXT config.h
#define HTML2TEXT "/usr/bin/html2markdown"

in the source folder.

Apparently, you have none of the aforementioned apps installed.  In this case, 
HTML2TEXT should be undef'ed instead of holding an empty string.  I'll check 
what goes wrong there.

Thanks for reporting this issue!

Cheers,
Albrecht.
