I have; however, it's basically hacked-together, consisting of two Perl
script, one small program to get MMDF to format a message for a particular
channel, and some library patches to MMDF to make said small program work
without segemntation faults. The receiving side can be used as is, however.
(Warning: I don't have the time right now to mail out scripts or answer
questiond for them, so please only ask if you really need it.)

One other remark: smail 3.1.19 also doesn't like /s in addresses.
(Someone else please post an appropriate patch; I'm using MMDF.)
