Subject: [PATCH] mbox: handle empty subjects after dropping "Re:" prefix
Date: Sat, 25 Jan 2020 02:47:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200125024708.10552-1-e@yhbt.net> (raw)

We can't pass empty strings to `to_filename' without
triggering warnings, and `to_filename' on an empty string
makes no sense.
