Some of us here (credit goes mainly to W.J.Carpenter@att.com) are
thinking of doing a rewrite of fakemail.c all in lisp.  We were piqued
into attempting this from wishing that we had ability to run
mail-strip-quoted-names on "a@b (xxx)" and "xxx <a@b>" style
addresses.  [Fakemail is the interface to /bin/mail for those not
using /usr/lib/sendmail.]  Anyway, as usual, before delving into this,
we want scope around to see if others have already done it.  If we
succeed we will submit it as fakemail's retirement replacement in GNU
Emacs.  Yes we've tinkered with W.J.Carpenter & Pat Knight[no longer
at wang.com?]'s versions of fakemail.c.
