The message was received into my mailbox but was put into "spam" there,
maybe because of the big attachment :(  Generally only the 4 previous
lines would have been enough to tell what the problem was... But maybe
seeing "the one fallen tree in a forest" isn't that easy, the "fatal
error" here could hint something, generally just searching for "error"
in a logfile could be a good start to see where the smoke is rising...

If Ian hadn't replied to this never-seen message, its existence would
have been noticed before the automatic "spam" folder in my IMAP server
had been filled. I thought I had set my Thunderbird to trust the server
filters and so make copies of spam too but my local "spam" folder was
empty...
