Hmm.  I thought this was fixed in MH 6.7.  I'll look into this.

Well, I think "scan -file" is bad.  It's a hack, and ignores some of
scan's switches as well as not following the usual MH conventions for
message specification.  The real answer is to just use "msh" instead.
I'll add a note to the scan man page.

Does slocal consider "to foo" as true if the "to" address is
"foo-request"?   Would someone more familiar with "slocal" answer this?
