KMail "Find messages" failure

Fedora-16 KMail2 is 98% OK for me now,
but there is one small problem.
I wonder if anyone else has met it?

When I use Tools=>Find Messages
this works fine if I specify the Subject,
but not if I specify From,
which seems to give random answers.
Usually it doesn't find any instances,
but sometimes it finds a subset.

I checked with Fedora-15.
and that always gives the correct response.

It may be connected with the fact that
>From (the message sender) was not shown on my email lists
when I first upgraded to Fedora-16;
I had to add it - with Anne Wilson's help -
by right-clicking on the bar at the top of the email list.
