I don't think that they are the same. Peter's trace shows a problem
trying to get a word score, yours shows a problem trying to parse a
message.

I'm pretty sure that the problem is caused by a malformed message.
There has been some discussion about these on the list recently (in
particular see Alex's message), as well as a while back.
I suspect that the old version of pop3proxy didn't use the email package
to parse the mail, but the new (via message.py) does.
I'm going to close your bug and open a new one about malformed mime
messages. I'll move your comments into it, as well as Alex's.
Something does need to be done.

If you set the "globals":"verbose" option to True in your config file
you will have a _pop3proxy.log file created that logs the POP3
conversation. If you look at that, I *think* that you will be able to
figure out which message is causing the problem. (It will probably stop
at one message, which is not the last one).
