Summary: ifset doesn't seem to work.  Also, option P (postmaster).

Here is an example of my problem.  With the following ease input:

	/* format of a total name */
	macro
		m_defaddr = "${m_sreladdr}ifset (m_sname,  (${m_sname}))";

I should get something very much like the following output:
	# format of a total name
	Dq$g$?x ($x)$.

But instead, I get
	Dq$gifset (m_sname, ($x))
which is clearly wrong.

As far as I can tell with dbxtool, the IFSET processing instructions
never get invoked.  (MakeCond never gets called, etc.)  Does anyone
know why that should be?

Another question, is the P (postmaster) option a normal sendmail
option?  Is it standard in SUN sendmail, but not in others?
Obviously, I would like cfc and et to understand it, and it was easy
enough to add it, but I wonder how general it is.

Thanks--
