I noticed a problem when I tried to relpy the following letter:
--- Forwarded mail from TeX-Euro, Distribution, List, for, Eropean, TeX, Users,

--- End of forwarded message from TeX-Euro, Distribution, List, for, Eropean,
TeX, Users, <TEX-EURO@DHDURZ1.bitnet>
As you can see in the "End of forwarded message" line above, Mush
treats the "Sender:" and "Reply-To:" headers as containing multiple
addresses: "TeX-Euro, Distribution, List, for, Eropean, TeX, Users,
<TEX-EURO@DHDURZ1.bitnet>". It seems that Mush treats line
continuation as an implicit comma - therefore forces the sender
name to be a list of senders. I checked UCB-Mail and didn't find
that feature/bug there. I don't know much about the mail standards,
but I don't see any harm in NOT inserting the implicit comma.
