Yes it is the unicode branch.
I can't find the version of mule, its mule-ucs
Here the exact version of this emacs:

Version of this emacs:
  GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.0)
 of 2007-10-31 on samarium

My locale is fr_FR.UTF-8

Thank you for your answer,
here is the output of debug-on-error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range 1003 1987)
  choose-completion-string("Thierry Volpiatto <address@hidden>" #<buffer 
*mail*> 995)
  mouse-choose-completion((mouse-2 (#<window 18 on *Backtrace*> 156 (188 . 82) 
255687195 nil 156 (20 . 4) nil (8 . 10) (9 . 18))))
  call-interactively(mouse-choose-completion)

I found what is wrong:
By default the send message buffer is narrowed:
here is what i have in the mode-line:

[(Message MML MC-w Abbrev Fill Narrow)]

So it's may be normal if i have ==> args-out-of-range ...

if i disable that with C-x n w (widen)
mouse-choose-completion and choose-completion work perfectly.

I didn't find yet what to set to change this default setting.
