Subject: [PATCH] Import.pm: Deal with potentially missing From and Sender headers
Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2018 14:36:31 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zhyndnls.fsf@xmission.com> (raw)
Use ||= '' to ensure that if the From or Sender header is not present
the code sees an empty string and instead of undefined.
I had some email messages with a From field without an @ (because the
sender was local) and without a Sender which were causing errors when
imported. I think this was bad enough that the email messages were
failing to be imported.
