[DRE-maint] Bug#722670: feed2imap: feed-item causes crash

[Christoph Feenders]

Hi Antonio,

yes, I still have this problem using Debian Jessie.

The troublesome feed is available here:
http://iopscience.iop.org/0295-5075/?rss=1

The web-site does not seem very responsive and I have the feeling that
the error/problem only occurs in some kind of timeout condition when the
server stops answering in the middle of a request (see current log for
the feed below).
