Back to my original question.
What rule to apply for mail with blank From/To fields such as that one:

Received: from usr16-dialup18.mix1.Bloomington.mci.net [166.55.22.210]
by in5.ibm.net id 888279873.95642-1 ; Tue, 24 Feb 1998 00:24:33 +0000
From:
To:
Subject: Big Fat?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

... all my filters are defeated and the message ends in my inbox.

BTW it's Yarn for OS/2 if that makes some difference.
TIA.
