[comp.mail.mh] parsing for reply

pesetsk@athena.mit.edu (David M Pesetsky) (03/30/91)

I correspond a lot with users at a UCLA machine which generates "From:"
lines that look like this:

From: John Doe                             <XXXXXXX%OAC.UCLA.EDU@mitvma.mit.edu>

When I use the reply command with mh-mail, it replies as follows:

To: johndoe, <XXXXXXX%OAC.UCLA.EDU@mitvma.mit.edu>

which gets sent back to me.  Is there any way to get this non-standard
from line parsed properly by mh-mail?  When I remember to edit the To:
line of my reply, there's no problem, but otherwise it's a source
constant minor irritation.
