What were you trying to do?
	Have mail sent to olc@mit.edu automatically assign a username if 
	a valid one exists.

What's wrong:
       This doesn't work for usernames that include a "_" -- for example,
       if a user h_huang sends mail to ask a question, the question comes into
       the queue as nobody.  Also, if he has a question in the queue already
       pending, instead of appending the information to his current log, it
       creates a new question as nobody (unknown user).

What should have happened:
       It should ask the question as the correct user, or append the question
       to the current log.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
       (see user mark_g in olc queue)
