I suppose that somehow recreating that variable so that one can use the
'to' rule to filter by the address the sender actually specified in the
first place is a really bad idea, right?  Actually, scratch that; I'm
sure it would be.

This continues to be a point of confusion for me.  I guess I'm just
dense.  Going through my incoming logs, there are only two variations:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (as specified in my exim configuration) and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (thanks to fetchmail).  If I somehow got fetchmail
properly configured, I would only ever have one envelope recipient.  So
I guess my question is, how useful is it, really, to filter based on
that?

I strongly suspect that I'm missing the big picture here.  In what
situations would one have a variety of envelope recipients to deal with?
