Let me know how I can improve this patch. For example, should I use k prefix for a BString? Originally I did it using const char* but I tried to follow the guidelines to use B classes whenever possible/convinient.

The best solution would be to rewrite the layout of the program using BLayouts but that's going to be a bigger task, this patch takes care of the bug :)

Thanks, Guillermo

Patch looks good, but indeed converting to BLayout would be a better solution.

I'm glad it looks good, maybe it can be applied while someone rewrites it using layout, that would prevent more issues about this and also make the e-mail client usable while it's done.

Cheers, Guillermo
