Sure, both are in ~kolya/tmp/mitmailscan-bug.  The interesting things I've
discovered as a result are:

  * The crash only occurs with the exact set of messages I had in my
    mailbox yesterday.  Running mitmailscan with your reply message in my
    INBOX prevented the crash, but moving your message to a different
    folder made mitmailscan crash again.

  * Running with --debug doesn't trigger the crash.

Let me know if you'd like me to do anything else.
