I think that's a sensible decision and wasn't particularly surprised by
that bit of it.  In fact what might be handy would be an option to not
output the partial mailbox if we can't find some of the patches - that'd
help spot problems early on in the process.

Right, I'd have expected it to only apply to whatever was explicitly
asked for.
