We use Emacs version 18.51 on a SUN network running OS 4.1.  Lately,
people who receive mail sent with RMAIL have the following experiences
Fred sends John a message with a CC to JoeBob that should appear as
this in John's and JoeBob's mail files:

	From Fred Wed Oct 24 10:38:13 1990
	Date: Wed, 24 Oct 90 10:38:11 PDT
	From: Fred (Fred Ferd)
	Received: by penguin.sunnet (4.1/SMI-4.1)
		id AA01637; Wed, 24 Oct 90 10:41:00 PDT
	To: John
	Cc: JoeBob
	Subject: test msg

	Just a test.

But when received, the From is attributed to JoeBob.

	From JoeBob Wed Oct 24 10:38:13 1990
	Date: Wed, 24 Oct 90 10:38:11 PDT
	From: JoeBob (JoeBob Baker)
	Received: by penguin.sunnet (4.1/SMI-4.1)
		id AA01637; Wed, 24 Oct 90 10:41:00 PDT
	To: John
	Cc: JoeBob
	Subject: test msg

	Just a test.

If Fred sends mail only to John with no CC, then the message
received is attributed to John! 

This only happens when the mail is sent from inside emcs
using 'm' inside RMAIL or C-x m outside of RMAIL. Mail sent
via mailtool or Unix mail s correctly attributed.
