control: severity -1 grave

The definition of grave severity is:
grave
makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes
data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the
accounts of users who use the package.
This bug renders sylpheed unusuable or mostly so for me, so it is
indeed a grave bug. I am restoring severity accordingly.

I wish I could check it but so far the only way I have to do so is
installing from source. What I can confirm is the bug appeared when
upgrading from version 3.7.0 to version 3.8.0~beta1-1.
I hope you understand this bug is preventing me from using sylpheed
and so from reading and writing email, unless from gmail's web
interface. I find of great concern that the bug is in Debian's new
stable distribution: bookworm. If you know the bug is in version
3.8.0~beta1-1 I would suggest downgrading stable to 3.7.0 if you can
manage to do so.
Best regards,
José Luis
