After sleeping on it, my opinion is that it should only affect the From line
and not affect the name of the inbox.
I don't see much point in adding the complexity to support something that I
think might possibly be useful, but don't really know how.
So, ignore my request that it be conditional.
I think most qmail users would be much more interested in seeing Maildir
support added to nmh.
