Well, if you had sent the mail from inside a newsgroup, it would have been sent
from a useraccount too (there's a popup just above the 'To' field). This would
have given us a 'From' and maybe a 'ReplyTo' field. IF any error happens, the
original sender of the message would receive the error.

I'm very sure that you have [e-mail] as the email-address for the
newsaccount, or maybe as a ReplyTo. Or you did change the From-field in the
compose window manually.

Reporter, if you still have doubts, post us the headers of one of those
mail-messages (you can edit the header to remove the real email-addresses).
Normally, the error-message would give  us that information, otherwise you would
have to save a copy first. I think you'll find [e-mail] in the From,
Reply-To and maybe the Sender fields.

WFM with Moz 1.7.3 on WinXP. Marking fixed.
Reporter, if you feel this bug has been closed in error, please reopen, and give
the details that comment #1 is asking for. Thanks.
