Okay, so maybe I need to choose my friends more carefully, but Karl
just created a user named on his Linux box, and sends me mail from
it. Thanks a bunch, Karl. When I try to read the message in VM, I
get the following error:
Signalling: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)

If I continue from this error, I can read the message.
Of course, the correct fix is to shoot Karl, or his machine, but I was
thinking maybe BBDB has some sort of pacifist values, and would want
to forestall such an occurrence.
