Why should NetProb have to know how to handle *any* of the address
formats specified in RFC822? It should just copy the From line en
masse into the To line of the response it sends, and use some
intelligent mail agent (such as "/usr/lib/sendmail -oi -t") to do the
address parsing.
The UNIX philosophy: Use existing tools to deal with already-solved
problems.
