Just now I tried doing just that. Then when I looked at a message index,
for instance, INBOX, I could see nothing but the sender's name, no other
information. For instance I could not see the Subject, the date,
nothing. It was very disorienting. I went back into M S C and searched
for FROMORTO and deleted that value and now sanity has been restored.

Something seems to be wrong about FROMORTO?
