The problem is that you included the `b' flag.  Because of it, only the body
is fed to the pipe.  Try this to feed the From: header and the body (make
sure that the directory where formail resides is in $PATH or call formail by
its full absolute path in the recipe):

  :c # `1' and `H' are the defaults, so you don't need those either.
  ^Subject:.*pager
  | formail -kXFrom: | /usr/local/bin/epage -q cedo -
