Subject: bug#38193: 26.2; Editing a message in RMAIL should trigger an update to its summary line
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2019 00:34:00 -0500 (EST)

Steps:
1. Open an existing RMAIL file with multiple messages in rmail-mode.
2. Press "h" to generate the corresponding rmail-summary buffer.
3. Hit "e" to edit some message.
4. Change the Subject: header of the message in some noticeable way.
5. Press C-c C-c to finish editing the message.

Result:
The corresponding summary line for the edited message is not updated to
reflect the message's new Subject: header. I expect that it should.
It used to work like that in older Emacs, pre 22.x for sure, so I
consider this to be a regression, albeit a very old one!

Same for other headers like From: and To:.
