**** Yup. TFM. It says that mush will only add Date: and From: fields if
they are missing... Waiting for suggestions how to add/change a field
(awk, sed, perl)???

Furthermore, in the meantime, I discovered that something funny is going on.
On follow-ups, there are no problems, but mush is not invoked at all.
On replies and mailings, something funny is going on... Here is the
output from ps -x:

  PID TTY STAT  TIME COMMAND
12018 p1  S     0:00 -h -i (tcsh)
12020 p1  R     0:00 ps -x

          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
12017 x6  S     0:00 script
12019 x6  S     0:00 script


The mush has been running for 5 (!!!) mins, and in the end I had to
kill it. Needless to say, the message never got delivered...
Furthermore, I had to change -send to -U, and -draft to -h, since the
former produced odd results in ps -x (i.e., mush was running with
params: -U end -h aft - ). BTW, I'm running mush v7.2.0 (which I can
upgrade if needed) and nn 6.4.0 #3 (which I can't upgrade easily).

Now I'm thoroughly confused :-)
