issue 1857: ask and check each mail's tasks, promises and read-later (1857.2)

ADR 0516 §1, §2: the answer schema asks at most 3 tasks and 3 promises in the model's own words and the read-later flag; ParseAnswer refuses a 4th, an unknown kind, a line over 120 characters or a bad date, and a line sharing a run of 8 words with its mail's text fails the batch, so nothing copied is ever kept.
