one more question about this:  how can i cause a format entry to
evaluate to nothing at all, not even a newline?

i'd like to do something similar to your example for Reply-to, for
instance (i have other uses in mind as well).  i've tried both this:

    %<(getenv MH_REPLYTO)%(void(width))%(putaddr Reply-to: )%|%>

and this:

    %<(getenv MH_REPLYTO)%<(nonnull)%(void(width))%(putaddr Reply-to: )%>%>

but neither of these attempts work -- i always get at least a blank line:
