I've had addresses harvested from all over the place, not just the From:
header.   The more amusing ones are MIME boundaries and message-ids.

I notice that the list is still marking everything as from itself rather
than the author and with the announcement of 6.4 this has changed from a
"meh" to a real annoyance.

Can we have the normal behaviour back please and let the harvesters get on
with culling messages from the archives like they always do.
