The man page implies that you can combine some "from" switches, but some
combinations don't seem to work. When I combine -s and -r, from loses the -s.
I should get a report form of only the messages waiting from indicated sender,
but I get a list from all senders. (When I try plain -s, or -s and -v, it
works fine.) Examples:
athena% from -r

I think it should allow accumulated fields with -r.
I wonder if there is similar lossage on other fields?
