Thanks! This option should help, I'll have to play with it and see where
along the translation path it figures out the address.

Unfortunatly, the received header isn't always terribly reliable. If I
pick a random message in my mailbox (like this one), and look at the
received header, it will give me the right answer; however, it would seem
that when I'm actually interested in the header, it conveiniantly forgets
to put in the received for part. (I suspect that it's a conspiracy) (-=
