Can you show us the headers from such a forwarded message? This doesn't
sound right at all.

As far as I know, Mutt doesn't care what's in the From_ envelope
separator unless the From: header is missing.

It sounds to me like some other program already munged the headers when
it forwarded the mail between accounts! Are you using a simple .forward
file, or is there something more?

As far as I know, Mutt only uses the From: header if it's there, and
never uses the Received: headers to figure out anything.
