True (more or less), except that there is no capability in UUCP to have
two addresses - there is only ONE from address, and that's the "remote
from" line at the front of the message.  Remember that a uucp site may
ignore, correctly update, or hopelessly damage the From: line in mail
headers (since it's not part of the transport spec), whereas the
"remote from" is going to be correct.

We don't fiddle RFC821 (SMTP) messages that way.  The two-address scheme
works just fine there.  And we use it for all the many mailing lists we
host here.

BTW, why doesn't the From: line in your posting have a domain?
"blarson@blars" isn't replyable from outside yours, you know.
