I use Rmail all the time, and never saw any such problems.

Were you able to establish the factor(s) that cause this breakage?
IOW, what is different in those other messages where this doesn't
happen? (Or did I misunderstand, and it happens with every message
you send in reply to another?)
Anyway, I see you are using feedmail to send email from Rmail, is that
right? If so, could you try switching to a different back-end, like
message-smtp-send-it (which should be the default) or
sendmail-send-it? You see, feedmail is almost unused, so it isn't
surprising it might have such bugs.
If you must stay with feedmail for some reason, please submit a full
bug report using "M-x report-emacs-bug RET", with all the details.
(Btw, what Emacs version are you using now?)
