you write:
If I user formail to -I replace the From-Header, formail creates a
From-mbox line where the sender is foo@bar.
That's the default if there's no valid From: in the incoming message.
There IS a From: in the original message:

From: "(Cron Daemon)" <rgm>
That's not a valid From: address since it doesn't have a domain name.

Ah, I will take your word for it.  I could never grok 822.

It is what cron is doing, though.  Why put something in broken?   It could have done rgm@localhost.

One more thing to include in my cron bug report.  Already going to complain no Date: as to when the cron task started.  All you can do is stick in a Date: header of when the task finished.
