[imp]   in the From: field

Hi everyone.
Still in the testing phase of a project to produce an imp frontend to a
large IMAP4 mailstore.

In our organization we use a number of different mail clients and I am
finding that when looking at the sent-mail folder the results are
unpredictable.

Certain messages display the To: field instead of the From: field as
expected. However certain messages just display nbsp; - I haven't tested
all of our clients yet but it seems that messages sent using Microsoft
Outlook are a definite culprit. I presume it is simply a case of the
From: field being formatted somewhat differently under Outlook and I am
hoping it is a known issue that one of you kind people can point me
directly at a situation for.

TYIA.
