Hmmm... that snags all the necessary addressing out of the body of the
document, no?  Sometimes that's a feature, sometimes it's a bug.

If the body of the document can always be assumed to contain the
faxnumber and recipient's name, that's pretty spiffy.

How (or more importantly, *why* :-) would you use that for a
non-dedicated user?  If you were on a shared, HF equipped machine that
you didn't have root access on?
