First of all, I know nothing about gmailfs, but I see some trouble spots.

Just guessing here, but I suspect this is the GmailThread._messages attribu=
te.
If so it's better not to use  attributes directly but to use the API
Further more if indeed GmailThread._messages is used, this class
hasn't changed since
libgmail version 0.1.0.

Yet another result of accessing class attributes directly rather then
through an API.
It's part of a exception catch I added to test for empty message threads.

I suspect because gmailfs interacts with the internal message threads
rather then
through an API, it gets into trouble because there are changes to these int=
ernal
class attributes.

Changes yes, to an API no.

I hope richard can comment on this, because I don't know how gmailfs (ab)us=
es
libgmail.
