Line 322 is producing Nils is various contexts in r630:

On opening the inbox-mode:
The problem was: 'private method `format' called for nil:NilClass' (error type
NoMethodError)
A backtrace follows:

Weird. It looks like RubyMail can't find a From: line in a
message/rfc822 attachment. If you get a chance, send me the message in
question so I can play with it. I think this should be special-cased as
of r634 though.

Weird. It looks like RubyMail is having trouble parsing an attachment.
Same as above: should be special-cased in r634, and send me the message
if you get a chance.

Thanks!

Yeah. It works in r639. I'd send you the message, but I don't know which
one was causing the error. If it happens again, I will.

This too appears to be working in r639. Thanks.
