Fixed a problem with PMDF MAIL which can cause it to fail when trying to send
a file with an ERRREADIN "error reading input file" message. (D/E 11075)

Channel keyword 'addlineaddrs' is available to modify the behavior of mail
sent through PMDF using VMS MAIL. By default, messages sent from VMS MAIL
through PMDF will only show those addresses that were processed by PMDF on
the 'To' and 'CC' headers. By specifying the 'addlineaddrs' keyword on the
'defaults' or 'l' channel on your VMS PMDF system, messages sent from VMS
MAIL through PMDF will contain all addresses in the 'to' and 'cc' headers.
