Running the attached mailbox through
hypermail: Version: 2a24 Patchlevel: 0
with a config file containing
hm_ignore_types = text/x-vcard

gives incorrect output for the second message

      text/enriched attachment: Card for A B

because there's no description given for the mime part in the second message and the description from the first message hasn't been zapped as the vcard was ignored.

I think the fix for this is to reset description to NULL whenever we start processing headers. The following patch to parse.c works for me - fixes the problem and didn't core dump when run on this month's archives, but I've done no more testing than that.
