   Hmm.  I can't comment on that, but I followed David's advice, got ELM,
and now my addresses go untouched.  Actually, ELM seems to use a different
addressing scheme:

Elm:              Jonathan O'Neal <1234::foo@site.site>
mail/execmail:    1234::foo@site.site (Jonathan O'Neal)

I assume that both are correct within RFC822(?) guidelines, since both seem
to work.  Anyway, Elm solved the problem (Thanks, David!).
