I'm lazy.  One of these days, I'll get around to editing the Rnmail script
so that it automatically puts the user's logname on the Bcc: header line
of outgoing mail.  Then all the user has to do is transfer it from the
mailbox to their outgoing mail copy file the next time they read their
mail.  Not a complete or elegant solution, but an easy hack.

(For a complete and elegant solution, I'm sure the long C language posting,
834@vsi.UUCP from Michael Sullivan, is much better.)
