Redirect erroneously removes headers

The redirect function seems to be erroneously removing headers from email
when it is redirected. These headers are extremely important for message
tracing, and in particular determining the origin of spam.
Below is an example. First, the headers as they are in my Inbox, displayed
using IMP. Second, the headers as received at a different server after
being redirected by IMP. I'm using IMP from CVS-HEAD from about a week ago.
Thanks, Jeff
