Basically I just want to keep a neat list of all the people that have
emailed me, without duplicates obviously.
This will grab a probable reply address into a variable:
REPLY_ADDRESS=`formail -zrtxto`
And this will write it to a file, known as $ADDLOG for the illustration.

You may need to adjust the fgrep options if they aren't all in your
version of fgrep.
Or, if your happy with only the "From:" line's address, you can skip using
formail and the var REPLY_ADDRESS, and use the MATCH var instead. Note
that the whitespace in the first condition line is a tab followed by a
space in both occurences, ie. "[^tabspace<]" and "[^tabspace>]".
