that makes sense.  thanks.

however, i'm not sure i fully understand the situation.  why does
	echo fu | upas/marshal -Fs bar quanstro/baz
deliver the copy to
	/mail/box/quanstro/(f/)?quanstro_baz
and not
	/mail/box/quanstro/baz/(f/)?quanstro
where it would land if i filed it after-the-fact with nedmail.
