i think the point here is that gmime used to support parsing them and 
now it doesn't.

So if you've got a pre-existing notmuch index (built from when gmime 
*did* parse them) and you're now running notmuch linked against a gmime 
that *doesn't* parse them, then notmuch search will produce references 
to messages that notmuch show can't produce output for.

While i appreciate wanting to be sure that we're working with 
well-formed files, I don't have a good answer for what the right thing 
to do is, if gmime upstream agrees with your assessment of the situation.

yuck,
