That's strange!  Running rmail from the command line hasn't caused a
problem here.  The problem was with PC-Elm.  Although I checked the
pcelm.rc file until I was seeing crosseyed, I couldn't figure out why
it was inserting a space in the "From " line just before the "!coneill"
so I eventually gave up.

Oh, well!
