Additional info:
The fix is simple.  There is a typo in /usr/sbin/mailgraph: replace "elseif" with "elsif".

Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Comment 3 Sjoerd Mullender 2016-09-28 17:19:12 UTC 
Reopening since this is still an issue.
I must say, this is embarrassing.  The fix is totally trivial, and included in the report, but it is not applied.

I'll reiterate the fix:

sed -i 's/elseif/elsif/' /usr/sbin/mailgraph
