I thought of that, but I think for that to work might require a
different format for storing messages. Actually, that is a good
question...does Evolution use mbox or mdir format? And would one allow
for some code that would skip over bad messages while the other doesn't,
or does it really matter?

I haven't seen a single email client yet that can recover from this
error - but generally the error message will say something about the
address blocks being empty, rather than simply relaying the error
message it gets from the server.
