I like that far more than anything else suggested.

Man, you really got gyped.  ;-)  There's a rumour going around that
it's actually possible to commit without being in the avail file.
Talk to Robert Baron for more info.  ;-)

Who knows.  It really only matters for the cases where From: and
Return-Path: are different.  I suppose it's probably correct to take
the Return-Path: ....  WTF is strlcpy()?

(RFC 822: Return-Path: "definitive ... route back to the message's
                        originator"
          From: "the identity of the person who wished this message to
                 be sent."
)
