You are wrong with your patch:
apparently, `mail_is_blat' will not be defined
without SH_EX (more proper #ifdef'ing required).
Try doing diff LYPrint.c between versions 2.8.2rel and 2.8.3dev.12
to figure out the changes. It was ifdef'ed with DOSPATH
so _WINDOWS users should also benefit (whether WIN_EX defined or not).

It seems you build with SH_EX which may be not suitable
for general binary distribution now (Klaus was right,
that part of changes represent the very personal preferences
of their author so we need more testing to make
a knowledgeable selection).
