When I started mush this morning, there was one lone message in my
system mailbox; here are its headers:

+---------

However, the list of messages showed this to be from (ie, the %n
value):

	TO: devon!paul

and not paul@pro-europa.cts.com.  I take it that the code for
evaluating the %n value doesn't look at the whole From: header, but
just the userid.

Perhaps %n is derived from the "From_" header.  Note the syntax of the
one in the above message -- this is how messages look when they come
to me from my Internet forwarding site (rutgers).
