Does anyone know why HP-UX mail (equiv SVR2 mail, mailx) blows up when asked
to reply to mail with an Internet (@) From: line ?

It really blows up, Segmentation Fault (core dumped)!

Before anyone replies with the obvious, I have tried the -U and set conv...
There is no rc file, so nothing funny is going on there, and I have tested
this with settings that *shouldn't* make a difference.

It doesn't complain at all, it just goes boom.

Here is a sample of mail-slaying mail:

The reason I assume that the From: line is guilty is because the only cause
of the blow up seems to be system dragos switching to smail 2.5.

Please e-mail suggestions, will summarize on request.
Will post fix or workaround if this is really a bug and not my stupidity.
