IMP 4.3 is pretty ancient.  There have been all sorts of  
fixes/improvements since then to handle these kind of issues.

Mailbox vs. Message views don't mean much since the header fields are  
determined through two completely different IMAP calls for each view.   
So just because it works in one view and not another may have nothing  
to do with Horde/IMP.
