bug#49770: [PATCH] rmailsum: error when message contains no From header

[Nick Gasson]

If you open a mbox file in rmail-mode containing a message without a
"From" header and press "h" to display the summary, the following
error occurs:

  Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
    string-match("\n" nil)
    rmail-header-summary()
    rmail-create-summary(1 nil nil 101)
    rmail-create-summary-line(1)
    rmail-get-summary(1)
    rmail-new-summary-1("All" (rmail-summary) nil nil)
    rmail-new-summary("All" (rmail-summary) nil)
    rmail-summary()
    funcall-interactively(rmail-summary)
    call-interactively(rmail-summary nil nil)

* lisp/mail/rmailsum.el (rmail-header-summary): Check if from header
is set before scanning it for newlines.
