Because I want to hide our internal hosts, I use the feature offered
by the GENERICFROM string (news B 2.11.14).

So, for example, i.s.o. "jos@ssp15.idca.tds.philips.nl" I become
"jos@idca.tds.philips.nl" in my From-field (b.t.w., this article will
have another From-field, due to some temporary reasons...).

BUT: then I can't cancel my own articles anymore (at least, using the 'C'
command in rn), because it is not recognized anymore that I'm the sender
of the article.
(When the article contains the *full* hostname, the cancel succeeds.)

Does anyone has the same problem, and if yes, can you give me a patch
to solve it?
