Locate the two oldest files in /qfiles and move them out of the directory
(or delete them if the .msg file appears to be unimportant). At least in my
case the problem was that the oldest message was damaged and there was no
body. I'm working on the assumption that the lack of a message body is what
is referred to by "AttributeError :  'string' object has no attribute
'lower'" in the last line of each error set.

I now wish that I had rolled back to an earlier version as a test. But since
I wiped out the oldest message and two others have reported rolling back to
cure the problem, perhaps the developer needs to see what sort of message is
stalling 2.0.12.
