Dear List,

Balsa uses icons in the "Message parts" tab to give a visual indication of the 
type of part. The default Gtk icon theme has relatively few icons, so Balsa installs 
several extra icons, to better distinguish the various types of message parts.

The extra icons have in the past been installed in the Gtk icon theme 
directory, which requires write permission and hence a root install. A recent 
commit to master installs them in Balsa's own icon directory tree. The default 
installation puts that under /usr/local, and still requires root permissions, 
but either

./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local …

or

make prefix=$HOME/.local
make prefix=$HOME/.local install

will install all files in user space. So it should now be possible to get a 
fully functional Balsa installation without needing root privileges.

Happy mailing!

Peter
