That'd mean the header size is saved incorrectly to index file..

Hmm. CVS doesn't anymore store header size in indexes and the assertion
has been removed. Maybe that "fixes" it :)

This is fixed by the address-parser patch in web page.

This assertion has also been removed from CVS, but it also indicates
some index corruption..

Maybe next version magically fixes everything :) BTW. I fixed today the
mbox code to work again and I'm now using it. Lets see how long it takes
to corrupt my inbox :)
