cool.  violent agreement is good.  :)

i just wanna point out that this sort of implies (to me, at least), a
reasonable understanding of:

	* aliasing
	* .forward files or the like
	* delivery to files
	* delivery to programs
	* avoiding delivery loops
	* detecting multiple deliveries

don't get me wrong, i like the idea, but i don't think it's trivial.
