Sorry, I have no idea why my MUA does that, it seems to be able to
deal fine with other recipients.

I tested Nehalem, Sandy Bridge and Haswell, but sadly not Ivy Bridge
(in fact I didn't even know about Ivy Bridge, that's why I said all
pre-Haswell).

In fact I'm now trying with a Nehalem processor that seem to work, so
whatever this issue is it certainly doesn't affect all models or
chipsets.
