This log message suggested that the author (i.e., the From: address)
of a mail didn't appear in a message header when starting composing
a wide reply.  I mean, if you perform a wide reply using the `F' or
the `S W' command to a mail like the following:

From: the-author@example.com.invalid
To: the-mailing-list@example.com.invalid
Cc: foo@example.com.invalid
Reply-To: the-mailing-list@example.com.invalid

The old one will compose a draft as follows:

To: the-mailing-list@example.com.invalid
Cc: foo@example.com.invalid

But the present one does:

To: the-author@example.com.invalid
Cc: the-mailing-list@example.com.invalid, foo@example.com.invalid

This is much better for a wide reply, isn't it?  The root cause of
this difference is due to the Reply-To header, that some mailing
list servers are likely to add (it may be because many mail clients
compose a draft to send to only the author, I guess).

Is your problem that the From address is invalid?  If so, if there
is a valid Reply-To header, you can use R rather than F.  Otherwise,
feel free to forward an example mail to me.
