Thanks Arun :)

So I've tried to parse all the mbox files for the guix-commits mailing
list with this change, and I haven't found any new problems.

But yeah, I'm in no rush to get this fixed. I was looking ahead at
loading old mbox files in to the Guix Data Service to load information
about old revisions, but I'm not ready to do that on the processing side
in the Guix Data Service.

Thanks again,

Chris
