Hi there...

When I recently switched from SHR-T to SHR-U, I just copied across my
pim.db, and I discovered that Messages would then crash sometimes (on
startup).  Investigation showed that this was because the code was
expecting some fields to be of a certain type, and the older messages
in the pim.db didn't conform to that.

Now of course that makes perfect sense - because of course SHR-U needs
to be free to change fields from time to time - and I assume that
simply copying an old pim.db isn't intended to be a supported
workflow.

In this case, however, it turns out to be easy to enhance the code to
allow both the old and new types, and the following patch does that.
Given that it is quite easy, what do you think about taking this
patch?

Alternatively, what methods are there for upgrading an old pim.db?

Thanks,
      Neil
