Well, I couldn't find anything wrong with the article in question. So, I
patched the code in Util.py to catch the exception and return the null string.
Seems to have permitted the archives to be imported ok, while those messages
affected would presumably be blank.

Simply crashing like this is bad behaviour, IMHO. If I didn't know python I'd
have no idea how to fix the problem, or even where the problem was.
