With OMEN packets, no indicator for "Letters addressed to you"

Hi, it's been several years since I did any offline messaging via a mail reader. Trying out mm again with v0.52 a few days ago. I was downloading QWK packets but switched to OMEN, now when I have mail addressed to me, there's no indicator at the top for "mail addressed to you" when I do have mail addressed to me. It's not that it shows 0 messages, the line just isn't there at all.

I worked around this by adding my name in ~/.mmailrc here:

# Your name, as you want it to appear on replies (used mainly in SOUP)
UserName:

Now the "...addressed to you..." line is back and shows the correct amount of mail addressed to me.

Maybe mm couldn't detect they were to me, because they are replies to messages I uploaded in QWK format?

OMEN packets are unusual in that they don't contain the name of the user who downloaded the packet. Setting it via "UserName:" is the only way. (Possibly this should be documented more explicitly, outside of HISTORY.md and omen.cc.)
