Using /bin/mail in research unix to send mail to a local user will
result in a mail with no From: line.  The intention is that one should
use the `From ' line for replies.  The system administrator at
research.att.com insists that this is the correct behaviour, and that
everyone else are wrong.  They were first.

However, I'm more concerned about files create with `FCC:' by mail
agents, that's the only source for `From:' less mail I know of
outside AT&T.
