I just tcpdumped a mutt session (which also shows this behaviour)

)

Note that the second destination is missing as well. I can't remember seeing 
those issues in 1.0.5 (and I'm pretty sure all other users would have 
complained, given that we have migrated the official mailserver to Dovecot 
1.0 lately), but I don't have easy access to an 1.0 mailserver at the moment.

I'll upgrade to the latest .hg-version, but as you didn't seem to have 
suspected anything I guess this won't fix the issue.

Regards,
Bernhard
