EDIT an email? Surely you mean view the headers of a received message? Procmail isn't used for sent mail, unless you're invoking it as a generic mail filter via a feature of your MUA, and even then, that should occur AFTER you've edited, not when you edit.

at the top, I see 2 From's ... I just cannot figure this one out. I have
checked out my rc file thoroughly, and cannot find anything that can be
causing this.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this might be occurring?

1. Have you tried inspecting the message in the mailspool via a pager, rather than Mutt? Preferrably messages received AFTER you've last run Mutt.

2. Have you tried temporarily disabling your procmailrc and seeing whether the problem persists?

3. Have you tried preparing a test message and throwing it at your filters running within a SANDBOX framework? Don't know what a SANDBOX is? Follow the link in my .sig.

4. Are you running 'f'ilter rules? These are most likely to introduce new headers - say if the original ones aren't kosher.

5. Surely you're not confusing "From " with "From:"?
