Unfortunately, it doesn't fail for me, at least not in the stock Emacs 22.1 version of RMAIL.

Obviously, we don't want to go back to the old version, we want to debug and fix the new one instead. > Details: A message previously sent by the Emacs user will typically > show a "To:" header when viewed in RMAIL, but will not show a > "From:" header. Can you please show an example of such a message? I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
