Doing so would violate RFC822. [log in to unmask] is not necessarily
the same person as [log in to unmask], and [log in to unmask] may
be a 3rd person, etc. Such a situation is rare, but it's possible
and consistent with RFC822. LSOFT is, IMO, to be congratulated for
following the RFCs rather than breaking them as so many programs do.
