[bug-mailutils] Guile 2.2 bindings: error when printing message object.

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hello!

I’m the author of GNU Guile Debbugs, a Guile interface to the SOAP
service of the Debbugs bug tracker.  I’m trying to use the Guile
bindings of Mailutils to simplify the task of dealing with emails from
Debbugs (e.g. to parse multipart messages or to decode Quoted Printable
strings).

I used the latest version of Mailutils from Savannah because unlike the
latest release it provides working bindings for Guile 2.2.
Unfortunately, I cannot get it to read a message in mbox format from a
file.  Here’s what I tried:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
wget https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=32514;msg=8;mbox=yes
guile

$1 = #<message "address@hidden" "Fri Aug 24 06:39" ERROR: In procedure write:

scheme@(guile-user) [1]>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This also happens for other messages that don’t come from Debbugs.  The
problem only seems to happen when the message object is printed – I can
assign the parsed to a variable, but I cannot print it.
