/*
* This script goes through your Gmail Inbox and finds recent emails where you
* were the last respondent. It applies a nice label to them, so you can
* see them in Priority Inbox or do something else.
*
* To remove and ignore an email thread, just remove the unrespondedLabelStr and
* apply the ignoreLabelStr.
*
* This is most effective when paired with a time-based script trigger.
*
* For installation instructions, read this blog post:
* http://jonathan-kim.com/2013/Gmail-No-Response/
*
* label = GmailApp.createLabel(labelName);

Hmm, I'm getting this error:

TypeError: Cannot call method "addToThreads" of null. (line 46, file "")
