I still have it on my back burner to do some kind of intelligent munging
of email. I wrote a sample filter that sort of worked but it needed more
intelligence to be really useful.
Unfortunately real life has been stomping hard on me in the last few months
so I haven't gotten around to doing this. I would love to not have to
keep telling people not to quote raw email addresses, though.
