VM 5.31 (beta), Emacs 18.58.7 on a Sparcstation.

When a letter has a From line with no colon but not From: line, the From
line is not displayed, and the buffer begins with a To: line with no
sender displayed.

This is confusing enough as it is, but it has already been discussed.

However, I recently received a letter with no From: line and a From line
that had a continuation on the next line.  The visible part of the
buffer began with the continuation of the From line, which was
unintelligible; I thought I had somehow tickled the narrow-toregion bug.
