Perhaps, avoiding double negation would be easier on the eyes.

        die ... if $entry =~ /,/

Sure double negation does get confusing.  I think I forgot about that
last if form.  My perl is rusty from disuse.  

Does it grok '"Biederman, Eric W." [off-list ref]' some people seem
to do properly, or do we care (I personally don't)?

Nope.  If figure that is lesser of two evils.  If I could properly
grok that I would make it do things properly and parse a --cc
option for multiple email addresses.

I think you can still specify those interesting forms in an alias
file, like .mailrc.

The important thing is not to do a mailing and the discover your
recipients didn't get the email.
