Correct me if I'm wrong, but addresses like "jss"@eng.sun.com should work
just as well as jss@eng.sun.com, right?

What happens is that the stuff in the quotes, and the quotes themselves,
don't seem to be passed to sendmail, so it tries to deliver to "@eng.sun.com"
which of course doesn't work ... but it works right in UCB Mail.

This comes up because I've been trying to reach a friend through Sprint's
e-mail service, which requires disgusting addresses like
	/PN=yournamehere/O=organization/ADMD=TELEMAIL/C=US/@sprint.com

In order to get sendmail not to think I'm trying to send to a file called
	/PN=yournamehere/...

I'm apparently supposed to quote the addresses, like:
	"/PN=yournamehere/O=organization/ADMD=TELEMAIL/C=US/"@sprint.com

which successfully works in UCB Mail but in not in mush.  How do I fix this?
