+- If the locale is not utf-8, non-ascii command line arguments to recoll

+- A relatively simple error case can cause the indexer to stop processing
+ an mbox file (forgetting all subsequent messages). More specifically,
+ this happens when encountering more than than a few dozen errors while
+ handling attachments. This is relatively common: for exemple if an
+ external helper application is missing and multiple attachments of the
+ affected type are found (ie: multiple images and no
+ exiftool). Workaround: install the helper application.

+- Problems in detecting message separators inside Thunderbird mailboxes
