Well, the macro $l is defined as above.  The mailer flags for SMTP (I don't
use uucp mail...) are:

Msmtp,  P=[IPC], F=umDFMueCX, S=17, R=20, A=IPC $h

I was looking thru my copy of RFC822, and didn't see where it says that
'from_' was required.  On pg. 18 (Of August 13, 1982) it says:

     authentic   =   "From"       ":"   mailbox  ; Single author

Does this mean that there should be the field 'From' a ':' and an address?
(IE: 'From: jeff@quark.wv.tek.com'?)

	Please send mail if you wish and I'll follow-up to the net.
	(Expecially for the RFC question.)

	-Jeff
