sorry.  i was rambling.  i'm only saying that it should be dropped,

argh.  that should say "shouldn't", above.    -pgf

because, a) it's a pretty new feature,
so there are probably people actively using it, and b) it's quite a
useful feature -- on the fly modification (albeit limited) of the From:

in all major MTAs today. (i.e., pgf+mh@...  or pgf-mh@...)
