XFMail displays the sender of every message, i.e. the "From:" field, unless
the sender is yourself when it displays the addressee instead, i.e. the "To:"
field.

This way you get more info: If the message is not "To:" someone else,
then you know it's "To:" you and you see who it's "From:"; when it is "To:"
someone else, then you know its "From:" you and you see who it's "To:".

I think XFMail used to display "From:" for all messages by default, with the
above being an alternative. It looks now as though it just does it.

This doesn't bug any of us, since it's simply a matter of how XFMail displays
the message list on your display.

Hope this helps,
Ted.
