Avoiding expansion of mail's metacharacters

At least on my system, the "to" line is no place to put the delivery
information. Lots of copies may go to people on the "cc:" line, and
we don't list anyone getting "bcc:" copies.
We generate the general "uux bskt!rmail pow!der!mlk" jobs for everyone
who gets a copy; this "rmail pow!der!mlk" is the envelope. Systems that
use the "to:" line are merely asking for trouble. That's probably the
one thing that you can ask for and be reasonably assured of receiving.
