[sup-talk] problems with rubymail on an initial sup-add/sync

[Jimmy Tang]

Hi again

replying to my own mail, i eventually figured out why the previous problem was failing (corrupt mbox's)
but now, this is happening after starting up sup for about 5mins as it scans my mboxes

I'm very sorry, but it seems that an error occurred in Sup.
Please accept my sincere apologies. If you don't mind, please
send the backtrace below and a brief report of the circumstances
to sup-talk at rubyforge dot orgs so that I might address this
problem. Thank you!

Sincerely,
William

The problem was: 'just added message <200610312309.38117.rj200@  but couldn't find it in a search' (error type RuntimeError)
