I have decided to toe the line and make mail I send via UUCP conform
to RFC 796 ("UUCP Mail Interchange Format Standard").  I have looked
closely at the sendmail 5.61 sources and I have determined that there
is no way to set up my .cf file to output a pure !-path in the From_
line in conjunction with an RFC 822 compliant From: line.  Am I
correct?  Does 5.64 provide a workaround?  Will the IDA enhancements
do the trick?

If I am not clear, I want to output

    From host.domain!user  Wed Jul 25 16:39:22 1990 remote from mysite
    From: user@host.domain

instead of

    From host.domain!user  Wed Jul 25 16:39:22 1990 remote from mysite
    From: mysite!host.domain!user

or

    From user@host.domain  Wed Jul 25 16:39:22 1990 remote from mysite
    From: user@host.domain

Thanks.
