It is indeed an MH bug. Probably difficult to fix, given how
buggy mhl is.
Your replcomps file leaves unchanged the "To" formatting of
/usr/athena/etc/replcomps, so all users will see buggy behavior.
(Analysis and experimentation shows that email addresses will be
truncated if they are longer than 69 characters.)
For reference, I'm including an attempt of my own to reply to a
(imaginary) long email address. Note how the "To:" line has
been, undesirably, formatted.
