[Spambayes] sb_imapfilter.py not adding headers / moving messages

I wasn't watching too carefully (and I'm not sure if the -i 4 output was 
including everything the IMAP server returned, or only certain messages it 
was watching for) ... but I don't think my particular server actually 
returned an EXISTS message after the NOOP, but it did indeed fix the problem 
and have the message show up in the subsequent SEARCH.  As long as there is 
some sort of limit though, in case a funky server doesn't actually ever send 
the EXISTS, that sounds fine to me.

Unfortunately, they crash imapfilter ... no Exception headers are added.  
The only way I can get it to continue processing messages is to manually 
move any offending messages to a non-watched folder and run imapfilter 
again.  I did see similar checkins to the code adding the graceful handling 
of these problems ... I guess the relatively recent addition for imapfilter 
to do this just isn't fully flushed out yet :)

I'll start a new thread about this problem when I get more details on it...

Thanks!
