This problem happens with other mail readers as well.  When, 
after installing Linux I started using pine I thought that the 
blank headers were due to some configuration error.  However,  
the mail from Ted has exactely the same problem when I read the 
mail with pine (from Linux) or Netscape 2.0 (from Windows NT).
