We want some method to parse RFC 2822 headers to be part of the

OK, I agree with the idea of having two more scopes:
1) "from", pure and simple plain old 2822 From
2) "fetchmail", meaning the algorithm explained in
http://www.imc.org/ietf-mxcomp/mail-archive/msg04356.html
Note that I take no position on the usefulness of these scopes. I
simply believe that, given the current state of the art about email
identities, it is better to have choice.
