Yes,
  It also shows blank headers with Eudora.  However, although this email 
package has a lot of issues, the blank subject problem is not one of them.  
There are many mail configuration errors on cyber.ad.jp, my other unix shell 
accounts see the subjects, as I assume everyone else's does.

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).
