Comment(by brendan):
I think this patch could be dangerous because it can lead to mutt and the
IMAP server having inconsistent sequence numbers for messages in a
mailbox. This means that an expunge message from the server could cause
the wrong message to be removed from the mutt mailbox. It might be enough
to set h->index to h.sid - 1 as part of your patch, but I'm not sure. I
may see about just not skipping the messages with null bodies.
