Hello,

on my dovecot-replicator-backend I see lots of panic-messages "assertion failed: (ctx->nested_parts_count > 0)", produced from a single user. I assume that this is correlated with https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/a668d767a710ca18ab6e7177d8e8be22a6b02...

How can I identify the incorrect formatted message in the user's mailbox? I want to remove it, as the error-processes drive up the backend's load incredibly.

Will a fixed dovecot-package be out soon?

Any help is appreciated.

Best regards, Andreas
