libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 breaks it.

My html work (and be able to install fancy plugin)

I'm sorry but the library required to build the fancy plugin has been
declared obsolete and removed from Debian archive, see bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/790199
A fancy plugin with current libraries would require to port the entire
application to GTK+3, an effort far beyond the skills and free time of
this humble package maintainer.
Upstream has no replacement yet, neither plans to have one in a near
future, but I'll try to package it as soon as it's available.
Notice you can still view HTML messages in message view, converted on
the fly to text. I'm aware this is a suboptimal solution.
Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
best regards,
