The problem I had with Sys V mail(1) as an MTA with Mush 6.4 a while
back was that Mush seemed to be APPENDING a comma even to a SINGLE
address!  I.e. 'mush joe' yielded an error message from mail(1)
saying 'Unknown address "joe,"'.  I switched to Smail 2.5 and the
problem went away, possibly because Smail is nicer.  I didn't look
too hard, had enough other problems in my life. :-)

I don't think a singleton of the form "joe," fits the above
syntax rule, do you?
