Mh-e will occasionally refuse to quit when I type 'q'.
It beeps, and displays a message: "wrong-type-argument consp nil"
The reason for this appears to be that as part of the exit
function, it calls (mh-find-seq 'cur), and fails to cope if it
gets a 'nil return value.
My current emacs is 19.30; diffing the mh-e.el file with the one
included in 19.34 suggests that the error will be present in the
19.34 version as well.
The mh-e.el file suggested that gildea@lcs.mit.edu is the correct
address to send this mail to.
A backtrace of the error, followed by output of mh-version:
