Oops, looks like I misread the original error message.  The fix I put in
is probably a useful safeguard, but not the one that was causing the
problem.

In looking more closely, though, something seems a little odd here.  The
offending object that is coming back None appears to be the msg[header]
reference.  If I'm not mistaken, that means that either the Subject: or
To: header is missing entirely from the message, which is very unusual.

Could you, by chance, attach a copy of the message that is causing the
error?  A copy of it should appear as a file in one of the cache
directories below the directory containing your training database, or
you could just view the message source from Review Messages and
copy-and-paste it.
