There seems to be a bug in emacs rmail. When I reply to someones message,
the person getting the reply says that the message is reported as being
from themselves. i.e. if I reply to person X, then if person X reads their
mail it says that it is a message from X.

This seems to only happen when I pass an argument to rmail-reply in order
to not reply to CC people. i.e. M-1 M-x rmail-reply.

I personally have these in my .emacs file because I never want to reply to
CC people:

;; don't reply to everyone by default!
(setq rmail-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
                 (define-key rmail-mode-map "r" '(lambda ()
                                                                                  (interactive)
                                                                                  (rmail-reply 1)))
                 (define-key rmail-mode-map "R" 'rmail-reply)
                 ))


Emacs version is 19.22 and operating system is SunOS 4.1.3
