Hi Michael,

So sorry for late reply. I just saw this email. Maybe I should consider change the
email client 'mutt' to 'Thunderbird' because I often miss some unread emails. 

And I cannot now find the file cause that exception.But I could reproduce
at that time. Let's temporarily skip this patch now and look into it if find it again in future.

Thanks for your analysis. :)
