I've discovered a really weird bug that causes archmbox 4.4.0 to corrupt
mailboxes after processing. Message informations are still present and
readable, but the headers are messy and the mailreader is no more able
to display informations correctly.
I'm investigating on the issue and I will release a new version of
archmbox as soon as possible. All users are strongly suggested to
downgrade to release 4.3.0; release 4.4.0 will be no longer available
for download.
