I tried it again with the new form of the condition and got a spinning 
pizza and crash again, both with a draft message and with a message I 
had actually sent to myself, not just saved a draft of, as the only 
thing in the IMAP mailbox. In both cases the only text in the message 
was the list of addresses, one per line.

But if it's working for you, clearly it should work! Would it help to 
send you a crash report? Or I guess you've got both of today's crash 
reports already, because I've ticked that box in Preferences-General. 
Well, not that I think this should be a higher priority than HTML 
support, but I'd be glad of help to get it working.
