Plenty of people run csh but do not have backslashes in their
addresses.  I know of the ! interpretation of csh and that
\ is/are used to nullify it, but the \'s never came through
before.  e.g. If I mail to site\!user (using csh), the address
will be passes along to mail as site!user (note the \ removed)
csh does not pass the \ along, but merely reads it internally.
