Not only is the header occasionally harmful, when rn puts in the wrong
address, but it is also stupid, since in 99% of the cases I've seen,
it contains exactly the same string as the "From:" header.  Check a
few yourself.

Howabout a patch to rn that simply removes these headers?  They're
a waste of space and an occasional nuisance.  Do they do anybody
any good?
