Well, that turned out to be a helpful suggestion!  (Should've thought of
that myself.)  The problem vanished when I started emacs without a
decade or so of accumluated cruft in my .emacs.  Now I have to figure
out what gets in the way of the new version of Rmail.  I wonder if it
could be this:

(custom-set-variables
  ;; [...]
 '(rmail-ignored-headers
 
"^via:\\|^mail-from:\\|^origin:\\|^references:\\|^status:\\|^received:\\|^x400-originator:\\|^x400-recipients:\\|^x400-received:\\|^x400-mts-identifier:\\|^x400-content-type:\\|^\\(resent-\\|\\)message-id:\\|^summary-line:\\|^resent-date:\\|^nntp-posting-host:\\|^path:\\|^x-char.*:\\|^x-face:\\|^x-mailer:\\|^delivered-to:\\|^lines:\\|^mime-version:\\|^x-coding-system:\\|^return-path:\\|^errors-to:\\|^return-receipt-to:\\|^x-sign:\\|^x-beenthere:\\|^x-mailman-version:\\|^precedence:\\|^list-help:\\|^list-post:\\|^list-subscribe:\\|^list-id:\\|^list-unsubscribe:\\|^list-archive:\\|^content-length:\\|^x-attribution:\\|^x-disclaimer:\\|^x-trace:\\|^x-complaints-to:\\|^nntp-posting-date:\\|^user-agent:"))

To be honest, I can't recall the purpose of that code.
