The problem will be in the -H files. The penultimate chapter of the
reference manual describes the format of these files. If you can make
sense of that chapter, you should be able to look at the files with a
text editor and see what's wrong, and maybe even fix it for yourself.
Chances are it's a problem with the formatting of the message's header
lines.

If you can't figure out how to fix it, post an example of a -H file or
send it to me - there may be privacy issues with posting, and simply
"anonymizing" will probably wreck the file.
