In researching this problem, I noticed that yes, Fedora 34 has the
fix *now*, but it didn't previously.  

Other people, using other distros, may not have quite the same 
software updates. For example, Centos8 (which I have on some
other computers) still has the older pango release. 

The point being: if you have a mysterious "this one email makes 
claws-mail loop until killed", you might want to update pango and
see if that fixes the problem. 

(I'm tempted to put a copy of the 'pango-looper' line in this
reply, but will refrain)
