Re: formail reply headers

For a few versions in a row, formail -r mistakenly preferred From_ (Return-
Path: and From_ almost always have the same address in them) to all other
headers.  That was fixed along the way.

Look at the bar graphs in the source (in src/formail.c, I think) of your
current version.  They tell the relative rankings of various headers for
formail -r and formail -rt.
