Repl has this obnoxious feature.  On very long addresses, it formats the
return address with a person's name on the first line, and the address
on the second line.  For example:

 To: Colin Walls
     <ctw%sun.central-services.umist.ac.uk@NSFnet-Relay.AC.UK>
 cc: UNIX-SW-REQUEST
     <@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil:UNIX-SW-REQUEST@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil>

Unfortunately, post then chokes on this complaining that the address
loses and it's not delivered to anyone.  I assume it's because there's
no legal address on the first line.

The question is, how can I fix this?  Can I change my replcomps?  I don't
see anything in there that sets a field width.  Is post the actual culprit?
Can it be fixed?

Here's the pertinent info:

~/Mail/replcomps:
