  Just wanted to say that  a generalized  X.400 capable email  address
parser  would  have  more  general  use.  I  needed   to  generate  an
acknowledgement that a paper was received by an editor  (peer-reviewed
journal), and assign a document number.
  At first, I used "wrapper" just so I could get ids, etc.. right, but
then after a couple minutes thought, just pasted the beginning of
resend  into my perl code, and made heavy use of shlock.pl,
&ParseAddrs() and &sendmail(). 
  [Majordomo is used to handle subscriptions. The list is really an
annoucement only list. Mserv/WWW/Gopher for actual access to the journal.]
