With the IPA input module (GTK_IM_MODULE=ipa in the environment), which is
installed by default with ubuntu, characters are doubled (except for the last
one typed) and reversed (i.e. I see "\nfeeddʒ21ccbaa" when I type
"abc123\ndef"). However, the duplicate characters are underlined, meaning they
have not been inputted into the text box and are only stored by the input method
and therefore wouldn't be part of the outgoing email.

With no input module (app default is scim, I right-clicked in the reply text box
to change it to Default), "abc123\ndef" appears like "\ndef321cba" (same as with
scim). I couldn't figure out what to set GTK_IM_MODULE to so that the app would
use no input method. If somebody tells me what value to use, I'll try with that
instead of right-clicking.
