My problem is that these are not uncommon headers which can contain
unqualified addresses. I, as a regular user, did not write a .muttrc to
deal with this situation (I didn't know about this) and since exim
ignored them they were sent out to the net. On the net, people were
complaining to me about my mta not rewriting addresses. Since my address
_was_ rewritten by the server murphy.debian.org, I know that it must be
possible and I know for sure that it will save users (and the net) the
(minor) trouble of dealing with this.
