At first thought, I tried the following fragment in the file foo via

	scan -format "`cat foo`" +inbox

%(void(type{from}))\
%<(lt 0)\
%(host{from})!%(mbox{from})\
%|\
%<(gt 0)\
%(mbox{from})@%(host{from})\ 
%|\
%(mbox{from})\
%>\
%>

This almost works except %(host{from}) yields the path and %(path{from})
is empty.  This is in MH 6.5 with some local modifications.  I remember
adding %(lt) or %(gt) which was missing, but don't remember which it was.
