Hi Josh!

As you may have read on gnus-bug <gg.87offmz7ul.fsf@mde1.zonix.de>,
your patch is causing problems with my setup (two Gcc headers with
different backends (nnfolder and nnml).

Kai asked me to bring up this issue on *ding* again.  I'm afraid I
cannot contribute a lot (apart from bug reports) because of my limited
knowlegde of what is going on in nnmail.el.

Here's the backtrace again:

,----
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp "sent.mail.home.2002")
|   nnmail-cache-insert("<.87lmarby9j.fsf@mde1.zonix.de>")
