I just ran into this one yesterday.  It seems if you include a From line
and any other desired headers, they all show up.  Rmail will fill in the
missing ones just fine.  But without a From, rmail will do all the
headers itself and place whatever headers you included in the message
body.  (this is using 'rmail address < file')

Actually, you can leave the date out completely.  As long as the first
line in the message is

From username

rmail will take it just fine and use whichever headers you provide.
