There seem to be some big improvements in the handling of malformed
headers in the latest python email package. I was getting an error
similar to the second of yours until I upgraded to version 2.5b1, from

Yes, this is something I would like to see as well. It can sometimes
be tricky to work out which of the 2000 messages in the spam corpus is
causing filtering to fail!
