Two questions.

1) Do you think we should change the current regex as well as provide a
new space tolerant format
(id:"1324214111-32079-1-git-send-email-david@tethera.net")? I guess it
doesn't really hurt. Notmuch is probably already creating dump files
that sup can't read in your case.

2) can you share (by private email is a fine) a few of those really
   problematic messages so I can use them to test the new dump/restore code?
