How can those values ever be NULL?

checking that ep is NULL here is an impossible thing on its own.  You
did change this so that you didn't check this anymore, which is odd as
you did not mention that in the changelog text :(

Why did you reorder these?

Why did you remove this line?

Also, your To: line is messed up somehow, please fix your email
