4332772a77 mailaddr(7): wave goodbye
The information here is somewhere between ancient to obsolete.
It refers to a time in the internet's history when manual routing
was still useful, talks about UUCP as if its modern, and refers
to documents which I had trouble tracking down.

It seems unlikely that a manual page in this form would be useful, so
just remove it.

7e6cabd06e Renumber copyright clause 4
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

481c4ecdb9 Document the -d flag to mail(1) better, which comes handy when
you want to see, e.g., sendmail arguments mail(1) will use.

-H is not an independent flag, it's a modifier.  Also explicitly
say that -H will cause mail(1) to exit as soon as it prints the headers.

92912abb16 Make the 'searchheaders' option behave how it was supposed to. If
enabled, the string '/to:y' will match strings in the To, Cc, and Bcc
header fields. Whereas, '/To:y' will match only the To field. Edit the
manpage and a code comment to indicate the correct behavior.

00289accda Teach boring old mail(1) about the use of the REPLYTO environment
variable which is de-facto standard for MUAs.

Teach bomail to generate an in-reply-to header so threading MUAs and
mail->news gateways won't lose context.

While i was at it, removed two gratuitous standard violations for
functions starting with an underscore.
