I've always wondered where the From: line text surrounded
by elliptical braces comes from.  Some folks have all kinds of
neat stuff up there.

Recently, however, I've taken a personal interest in this feature
because my mail appears with:

	From: duanev@kauai.aca.mcc.com (duanev voth)

as a from line.  Yuck.  Postnews gets its stuff out of getpwent()
but from where does Mush get its "From:" comment?
