That happened between me and you, and it wasn't done by any of my boxen.
I have this (I'm attaching the same message, but Evo might munge it even
when it's attached):
pentafluge /home/dwmw2/Maildir/cur $ grep ^To:
./1073299527.H151846P27187.pentafluge.infradead.org:2,S
To: People who needed an example of empty lists in To field: ;
pentafluge /home/dwmw2/Maildir/cur $
... leading to the To: header being completely omitted from the display.
Perhaps if it had other addresses in it too then it wouldn't be
completely removed, as NotZed says.

Evo seems to have parsed it just fine, but decided for some reason to
discard part of it.

By way of example... this message (sent from pine because Evo can't send
them like this) has a list in the To: field which explains why you're
getting this mail.
It says:
To: People who needed an example of empty lists in To field: ;
Evolution strips the To: header from the mail before sending it, and even
strips it on _displaying_ the mail. Unless you look at it in another MUA
you're unlikely to see it, even if you select 'View Mail Source'.
