When loading a NNTP message, gloda throws an exception with the following error in the console: Error: aPart is null Source File: resource:///modules/gloda/mimemsg.js Line: 172 I'll try to provide more information ASAP

I can't reproduce this using trunk build. Could it be related to bug 188988? (encrypted emails are not searched) Gloda of course doesn't index news messages, but this sounds oddly familiar.

No, we talk about plain text (possibly PGP-inline signed messages) that don't have any structure.

I should probably add that you can't see this in standard Thunderbird; the bug is only visible if you use MsgHdrToMimeMessage. Here is what I got on the command line window: this should not be happening! arrgggggh! The MsgHdrToMimeMessage callback threw an exception: TypeError: aPart is null This corresponds to mailnews/db/gloda/modules/mimemsg.js, lines 157 and 139

dup of bug 545365?

yes!
