- I think that this feature would be a valuable addition to elm.
- A *reply* to mail aliased into your mailbox could build the
- From: line from the received To: line and build a Sender: line
- as the current From: line is being constructed. This would
- only occur if the users LOGNAME is not part of the To: field.
- Also There could be another flag in the elmrc to allow this
- optional behavior.
-
- This seems Not All That Hard to do but I am not familiar with the
- internals of elm. Anyone care to comment or even better, implement
- this and send the diffs to Syd for inclusion into a patch?
