It was 1.3.4 — upgrading to 1.4.3 fixed it. I assumed I was up-to-date through automatic updates, but I guess not.
It’s the exact same problem as the 1.3.3 problem given in your first link.

“I should probably file a bug report.”
Consider it filed Which version of RMD were you running and on which OS? Was the error console reporting something about “too much recursion”?
There was a Linux / Mac bug introduced in the Mozilla codebase that was causing an issue similar to what you describe:

The good news is that the 1.4.x version of RMD works around this for Linux users:

They let you forward email, but you can’t keep it there. The alumni office also gives you an email address, but I don’t know whether they let you keep your email there.
Doesn’t matter. This way I have total control over my email on what is probably a more reliable system.

Your school won’t let you keep your email address forever? I thought colleges allowed that in order to encourage stronger alumni bonds.
