Hm.  First, you concat "saved." and the from header, then you throw
that data away.  Then the function returns the string "nnml:".

Maybe you meant this:

    (concat "saved."
            (mail-fetch-field "from")
            "nnml:")

Suppose the From header is "Kai Grossjohann <kai@frob.org>", then the
above will produce a group name like this:

    saved.Kai Grossjohann <kai@frob.org>nnml:

It looks weird.  There is a function mail-header-parse-address, btw,
such that

    (mail-header-parse-address "Kai Grossjohann <kai@frob.org>")

will return 

    ("kai@frob.org" . "Kai Grossjohann")

which appears somewhat more useful :-)

Does this help?  (Give a man a fish... teach... you know...)
