  I was wondering if I'd get a suggestion like this.

   Somewhere over the years, I got bounced off this list, and I never 
re-subscribed until now, because majordomo was working so well for me. 
The question of whether to switch to mailman was raised as we were 
planning this rebuild, and I chose to go with the 'tried and true'.
   Well, when I encountered this intractible problem, I went to the list 
archives to see if someone had reported it already, and wsas surprised to 
see only four months in 2012 with activity, and none so far in 2013.  It 
sure looks like the user base is migrating elsewhere...

   I may jump ship soon, but for now, I'm reading perl regexp tutorials to 
see if I can understand what's supposed to be happening in ParseAddrs.
