} We're starting to see addresses on the From: line like:

} Mush wants to parse this address as a filename.  Whoops.

Easy to fix.  It's in file.c.  Relevant hunk of find_files():

   394          /* See if it's a file.  This doesn't get written back
   395           * onto "buf" since it is supposed to be extracted anyway.
   396           */
   397          if (force || *file == '+' || *file == '~' ||
   398                  *file == '|' || *file == '/') {

Change line 398 to either omit the '/' comparison or to do a more
sophisticated check such as:

   398                  *file == '|' || *file == '/' && !index(file, '=')) {

In fact, I think I'll put that latter one into patch #3, unless someone
can suggest a better heuristic.
