I'm running Mush 6.4 here (yes, yes, I'll upgrade to 7.0 just as soon
as I get around to it...) in curses mode.  When Mush displays the header
lines, it checks to see if the message is from myself, in which case it
displays the sender as "TO: joe@blow.uucp".  However, it seems to not
mind that the message came from some other "tom": for eaxample, if I get
mail from "tom@somewhere.else.com", Mush will display "TO: tom@mims-iris"
instead of the sender.  It appears that Mush (6.4) is only checking for
the userid being the same, and not the machine and/or domain.  Did I
explain this clearly enough?

Anyway, I'd like to know if (1) this has been fixed in 7.0, or (2) if
it hasn't, could it be done sometime in the future?

Thanks...
