Procmail is MDA for Sendmail and it delivers mail to Maildir boxes. Email clients like Eudora, Thunderbird, Outlook and mutt are working OK. When using Outlook Express and Pine however, in the message list the 'from' or 'sender' field is empty. This means users of these programs cannot see who did send the mail to them.
When running Dovecot 0.99 in a early test period, this problem did not occur.
This sounds like the new message address parser behaves differently with some messages. Pine (and apparently OE) is using FETCH ENVELOPE command to get the sender, while others fetch and parse the headers themselves.
With a few tests I didn't notice any problems though.. Does that happen with all emails? Does it matter if you delete dovecot.index.cache file for the mailbox? Could you look at the ENVELOPE reply if it contains the sender? (http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html#sniffing)
