Sorry about posting the old message from sent-mail to the list. For some
reason, the post I made to the list yesterday never did show up, nor the
one Stan Ryckman made in response. I did get Stan's cc to me. I didn't
keep a copy of the post I made yesterday and inadvertantly sent an older
one.

If you really insist that you want the contents of the From: field

of formail -zxFrom:
sed -e 's/ *([^)]*) *//g' -e 's/.*<\([^>]*\)>.*/\1/g'
FROM=`formail -zxFrom: | \
sed -e 's/ *([^)]*) *//g' -e 's/.*<\([^>]*\)>.*/\1/g'`
I've been using the sed recipe that Era posted with good success for
several days now.
Cute. But if you're willing to assume that email addresses have an "@"
in them and are well-behaved, wouldn't this work to set $MATCH with
no external process?:
* ^From:.*[ <]\/[^ <]*(_at_)[^ >]*
(There should be a space and tab in each of the []'s, but this stupid
mailer won't put them in; I'm not on the shell machine at the moment.)
FROM=* ^From:.*[ <]\/[^ <]+(_at_)[^ >]+
Should it be expressed like this? I haven't had any luck yet getting it
to match. Stan mentioned using awk and I am curious about how the
expression would be written and have no idea where to start.

How can I add fields like 'X-Loop:' after extracting them with '-X'. '-I'
won't do it and echo and cat insert the fields after the body.
