there's one problem with that.  marshal saves a copy of the
email after all the attachments have been made.

i can't replicate this easily with -C.

echo x | upas/marshal -C quanstro/quanstro -s y quanstro/z
Mail  from 'quanstro'
to 'quanstro/quanstro' alias `local!quanstro/quanstro'
failed with error 'unknown user'.
