UnboundLocalError: local variable 'sender' referenced before assignment

Any idea why I get this error? Assigning the sender at the beginning of the script does not help unfortunately.

Fixed! I've added sender = False on line 88. Please include this bugfix. Example:

def make_simple(dest, conversations, contacts):
    """Output each conversation into a simple text file."""

    dest = Path(dest)
    sender = False
    for key, messages in conversations.items():

Hi @crypt0jan I've made a slightly different fix here: 3726ccfc14b662fb86f4c7e6408c5cdcec5eadf2.

Should have the same effect.
