Hi all,

I had already reported this problem in id:"87ipzvk2xh.fsf@free.fr".

Recent versions of GMime perform more robust parsing that fix the
problem, but unfortunately debian only ship old versions of the package.

I don't believe we will be able to make all people from whom we receive
email always send RFC2822-compliant email addresses :)
