Sorry, my bad. Now I see. Although my understanding of your initial
explanation didn't change, not even with more coffee. ;)

Yep, I noticed the missing To: field myself. But it seems, this is due
to the formatting of that header:

To: People who needed an example of empty lists in To field:;People who needed an example of empty lists in To field: ;, ""@infradead.org

The above line (copied from your Pine generated message) is only visible
in Evolution in "source" mode.

However, I actually *have* seen the behavior in Evolution, as you want.
The message was generated by Eudora and the To: field had some
explanatory text, whereas all the addresses where not visible, cause
they where sent Bcc:ed.

So I assume, this is Evolutions fault parsing the To: header?
