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.

Thanks, pushed to master as ce5af2029b6bc703f3d8cf7bb5c68732c41f210e.
I assume this is from testing against personal mail?
I haven't tried that, yet :x
