Maximus and Telegard both don't have this feature "directly".  If you are
entering a netmail message in either BBS, it will use internal V7 format
code to look up an address.  MBSE doesn't have this feature "directly"
either but it's easy enough to implement.

There is a lot of undocumented code in MBSE that I've been discovering and
there might be something like that in the code that wasn't fully
implemented.  That is something I'd like to look at one of these days.  I've
been adding little features I like to the MBSE code (I've not released any
changes yet), so I can put that on the to-do list too.
