Try converting this string! to an email! with 'to-email... you will
be surprised. (again see below...)

Now if you convert your string! to an email! like this, it seems to
work.

Now when I use 'b as email! to send a test mail to myself, I don't get
an error.

This is the raw email that I got back (indented here to separate it
from this email text...).

Subject: this is a test
X-REBOL: 2.1.90.1.1 "The Internet Messaging Language (TM) WWW.REBOL.COM"
this is a test
Not only did it properly understand 'b as email!, but it also properly
handled system/user/email for the From: header.
So I guess we are back to asking why SELMA likes to strip the
real-name data from mails that it processes. (Or is it not SELMA, but
some other part of the system that SELMA runs on for this list.
Remember I don't have any experience with other SELMA-run lists so I
don't know if this stripping is common to SELMA or only to this list.)
