Summary:
Should cleanly handle email with no FROM information

Detailed description 
Currently, email with no FROM (which do exist in the wild) cause a nil [] exception to be raised in Headers#initialize.
This is really hard to catch in a way that I can deal with it correctly.

Either gurgitate should find a way to "just work" in this case, or if that is not possible (which would be
understandable), it should raise a specific exception so callers can know what happened.

I changed it so that instead of panicking, it now returns ""
for a value of FROM.  Look out for gurgitate-mail 1.8.4 any moment
now.

Good catch.  I would prefer it to "just work" myself,
so that's what I'll work towards.  Thank you for your report.
