I decided to try something a bit unusual, and submit an offer for a
small bounty at "The Free Software Bazaar" for a patch to MHonArc.
Mainly, I'm curious to see if and how their bounty system
works. Anyway, I thought it would be common courtesy to carbon copy to
this list. I hope I didn't offend anyone with this experiment.
Cheers,
Jeff

The following advice is quoted from Earl Hood:
=
The two main functions to target are:
mailUrl() in mhutil.pl:
This function is used in the conversion of address in converted
message headers.
replace_li_var() in mhrcvars.pl:
This is the general purpose function for doing resource
variable interpolation. If any new resource variables are desired,
this function would have to handle them.
What I propose is the following new resource variables:
$FROMADDRNAME$
The username portion of the email address
$FROMADDRDOMAIN$
The domain name of the email address
Example:
nobody(_at_)foo(_dot_)com
$FROMADDRNAME$ => "nobody"
$FROMADDRDOMAIN$ => "foo.com"
-ewh
