I've updated the help file to make it clear that the intent is to send the
reply back to the person to sent the message to you, which means that
Resent-From takes precedence over From.  That's what I always intended the
help information to mean.

Any address can be excluded.  Even if there are no words outside of the
userid@nodename, you can exclude addresses by excluding the userid or
nodename.  The new version will make this easier by allowing you to
select one from a pop-up scrollable list of addressees.
