I think the underlying issue here is that k9copy doesn't provide the
user with appropriate action-stopping errors and instead just posts some
debug output and keeps on trucking.

>From tweaking it a little more it seems that the default behavior when
something is broken is just to keep trucking for 15 minutes and then
fail silently, not creating the file. This is pretty unfortunate
considering that k9copy knew 15 minutes earlier that nothing good would
come of the encoding.

A better solution would be some dependency-checking on encoding options
and sane error messages. Couple that with avoiding hard-coding command
line options to other executables and this problem would be much more
solvable.
