The program name is set at the end of the main routine in
andrew/atk/apps/runapp.c.  Here is the code:

    if(application_GetName(app)==NULL){
	application_SetName(app,leaf(*argv));	/* just make sure */
	im_SetProgramName(leaf(*argv));
    }
    else
	im_SetProgramName(application_GetName(app));
 
    if(application_ParseArgs(app,argc,argv)){
	application_ReadInitFile(app);
	if(application_Start(app)){
	    exitCode=application_Run(app);
	    application_Stop(app);
	}
    }
    exit(exitCode);

I'm not sure, but at the point you are calling getprofile, I'll assume
that you've already gone into application_Run.  Correct?

I think the problem may be that when you fire up an application via:

% runapp -d msgsa -d

the application name is set to "runapp".  You can test this by adding a
preference:

runapp.FwdHeaders: "To:From:Date"
