  The resent-from is an intermediate sender, not the original sender.

  Maybe REPLY needs to be expanded to allow more flexibility, like ALL
means all, otherwise you gotta supply which fields you want (i.e.  REPLY
TO FROM RESENT-FROM TEXT, see example below).

  Not germane.

>(That's what the HELP file for EXCLUDE indicates.)

  Actually, my help says the userid or the nodename, but I see how you
come up with the 'everything'.

  In the example above when I do REPLY TEXT ALL the resent-from, the
resent-to and the from all get stuck in as addresses that my reply is
going to.  I don't want to send to the resent-to, so if I do EXCLUDE
ANDREW.CMU.EDU (like your interpretation of the help) then I lose both
the resent-to and resent-from addresses.

  I understand the parsing problems Richard faces, so what I would
prefer is that EXCLUDE be allowed to work on any string of an address
and only do one at a time.
