[imp] Invalid "To:" field problem

[Todd Aiken]

Yes I am sure, because I can go to any message that I've received 
before that is still in my new mail folder, edit it and remove the first part 
of the email address from the "To:" field, and then I won't be able to 
login to IMP.  Replace the first part and logins work again.
