If you want to print out the username instead of the left most
characters in the from field. 

If MH is compiled without the BERK option, (you didn't have a real
MH with this option :-), MH can separate the address field into different
parts.

My formatfile to scan printout the address in the following format.
From:  Donald Duck <donald@fo.foo.com>  (Guess who)
1) 	Donald Duck
2)	(Guess who)		if Donald Duck didn't exist.
3)	donald@fo.foo.com	if 1) or 2) didn't exist.
