OK. There is definitely something that could be done here if someone wants to
tackle it. At a minimum, read the lines that we can read and produce a warning
of some sort for the ones we can't. If more than one other mh style
programming is allowing this va

Interestingly, mailutils mh (GNU Mailutils 2.99.99, Ubuntu 16.10)
doesn't have a problem with these files, so I'm using that instead of

Not Pythonic, but I fixed it with this update:
