An alternate solution to teaching Berkeley Mail about new headers
is to completely remove From/date field checking.  As long as
the mailer itself outputs a legal date field, I see no reason why
it has to be so picky about what it takes in.  To do this, you
merely have to comment/ifdef the date checking code out (two segments
must be removed:  (1) the template defines along with the templates
themselves and the two following routines and (2) a (I think 3-line)
segment of code near the beginning which calls the date checking
routine.  If you remove this, Mail won't care about date field
structure, so full names will be ignored.
