Also you need to add the mimetypes and lists tables...

create table mimetypes (id int4, mime text, command text, icon text);
create table lists (id int4, address text, description text);

Mimetypes is for the "view" mime association stuff, and lists is for the "reply
to list" feature (for those @gnome.org and other mailing lists that set
reply-to to the sender, not the list...)

Check through the mailing list archives and the changelog for details...
