Hi,
I have been using gbuffy for a while and I fixed a problem I
had with it awhile back but never passed it along. And until I just
restaged my machine I had forgotten that I had fixed this.

The problem is when you receive a email with no Subject, I get these a
lot from cronjobs that I run. And I would get this error when I would
left click on the gbuffy window:

Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkdraw.c: line 215 (gdk_draw_string): assertion
`string != NULL' failed.

This is more annoying then anything else. Anyway my fix was very
simple check to see if m->subject was NULL before calling
gdk_draw_string.

Here is the patch file for gbuffy.c

Thanks for writing Gbuffy.

-Scott
