thanks, i wasn't aware of that particular *roff quirk. sorry about missing
the doublequotes.

yes, i aimed for a minimum delta.

hmm. i see your point, but don't entirely agree. my aim here was to
contain all the related logic within the smallest possible/sensible
horizon.
apart from the small ugliness of having the string "bcc:"
hardcoded twice i prefer that 'if' block doing its thing (and all of
its thing!) over strings conditionally accumulating across a
pageful of code or more.

true, but again i beg to differ; i find parsing string retrofiddlery like that
shortening after lazily accumulating them earlier quite a bit less
clean than one ternary.
anyway, these are my personal preferences; i hope we can agree to disagree
and that somebody with commit rights will apply the patch or equivalent
to the code.
