Please don't encourage CTM to ignore bugs.

If my email client hangs while receiving an email message from the
server, that's a bug that needs to be fixed.  If the program chooses not
to receive the message because of an error or an improperly formatted
email, that's OK as long as a message is placed in my In Tray telling me
what happened.  But hang conditions or crash conditions need to be fixed!
