[I] ponymail-mcp: search_list renders undefined" for email fields when quick=true [comdev]

   ## Summary
   
   When calling `search_list` with `quick=true`, the email rendering loop produces `undefined` for subject, from, and ID fields. Using `emails_only=true` instead works correctly.
   
   ## Steps to Reproduce
   
   1. Call `search_list` with parameters:
      - `list`: `dev`
      - `domain`: `iceberg.apache.org`
      - `timespan`: `lte=7d`
      - `quick`: `true`
   
   2. Observe that all email entries render as:
   ```
   - **undefined**
     From: undefined | Date: 2026-05-15 | ID: undefined
   ```
   
   3. For comparison, call the same endpoint with `emails_only=true` instead of `quick=true` — subjects, senders, and IDs are populated correctly.
   
   ## Expected Behavior
   
   Email fields (`subject`, `from`, `id`/`mid`) should be populated when rendering the emails section, or the emails section should be skipped entirely when `quick=true` (since the purpose of quick mode is to return stats only).
   
   ## Root Cause (Likely)
   
   In `index.js`, the email rendering code accesses `e.subject`, `e.from`, and `e.id || e.mid`. When PonyMail's `/api/stats.lua` responds in quick mode, it appears to return email objects with a different structure (or omits those fields entirely), resulting in `undefined` values.
   
   ## Suggested Fix
   
   Either:
   1. **Skip the emails section when `quick=true`** — since the caller is explicitly requesting stats-only, rendering empty emails is confusing.
   2. **Guard the email fields** — e.g. `e.subject || "(no subject)"` and similar fallbacks, and skip rendering entries where all fields are missing.
   
   Option 1 is simplest:
   ```javascript
   // In the search_list handler, after building stats:
   if (!quick && data.emails) {
     // render emails section
   }
   ```
   
   ## Environment
   
   - ponymail-mcp v1.0.0
   - MCP SDK ^1.12.1
   - PonyMail endpoint: https://lists.apache.org
