It has got no side effects, everything is readable.

Since we ruled out system configuration problems, you will have to look through the files claws-mail would read for input as returned by $ strace -e open -o claws-mail.strace claws-mail When it loads and the error messages are there, you would just quit claws-mail again. My guess is that the problem lies in some gui toolkit configuration file, ~/.* or similar. You'll have to rule out any binary files and grep all plaintext files with this: $ grep -Po '(?<=")[^"]+(?=")' claws-mail.strace | while read file; do [[ -e "$file" ]] && file -b "$file" | grep -q text && grep UTF8 "$file"; done Get all string sequences between double quotes from the claws-mail strace log, check if it exists and is a text file using the libmagic-based file tool, then check if it contains your invalid string. You don't even deserve this solution, and you'll start sprae cheers! mar77i
