The only XTerm output is "(org.gnome.Evolution:381747): Gtk-WARNING **:
15:14:13.977: Only strings supported after ':': \xe9: <Multi_key> <e>
<apostrophe> : \xe9"

Every time it starts, whether from the button in the KDE panel or from
XTerm, it gets stuck opening one of several folders in my MH archive.
It's always one from the same set. It also gets stuck when I try to
move a message from Inbox to one of a small set of folders. Moving to
other folders works. I don't understand why it's only those folders.
One correspondent observed there's a problem and said he could prepare
a backport for me to try as beta, but so far hasn't sent me one. I
thought it might be related to replacing my HDD with NVME, but when I
moved my MH archive to HDD the problem persisted.
