This looks the same as this bug:

[ 802530 ] Unable to review messages this morning
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=61702&atid=498103&func=detail&aid=
802530>

Which I closed because we hadn't heard back from the OP in a long time (i.e.
it wasn't ever resolved).

What operating system is this?  sb_server increases the stack size (I
presume that's the limit that's being hit, although I could be wrong) on Mac
OS X, which I think was to avoid something like this.

Do you have Python 2.3 or 2.4 available to you?  If you do, do you get the
same problem when using them?  This could be something that has been fixed
in the email package (or in the re module).

Finally, I suspect that it's one individual message that is causing the
problem here.  If you could identify which one, and give us a copy of it,
that would help a lot.  There are two ways I can think of to do that.  One
is to put a "print message.id" before the "messageInfo.bodySummary =
self._trimHeader(text, 200)" line in ProxyUI (the last id printed is the
problem one).  The other is to move messages out of the cache until it
works.  (Much more work, but doesn't involve touching the code).
