Hi !

I get the following Javascript error (with js debug enabled) when I  
open a mailbox which contains a message with incorrect headers :
" onException: TypeError-'this.element' is Null or not an object "

Everything works fine with Firefox or with IMP (both with IE7 and Firefox).

The message contains 8-bit data in the "From:" line :
   From: Gérard XXX<xxx.xxx at gmail.com>
An Amavis header underlines the problem :
   "X-Amavis-Alert: BAD HEADER SECTION, Non-encoded 8-bit data (char E9 hex)"

If Javascript debugging is disabled in Dimp, the message listing stops  
at the concerned message ; ie the user thinks some messages  
disappeared from his mailbox.
