- |This is not a bug or a feature, just the way Elm works. As Dave implimented
- |Elm, the elmheaders file is just blindly copied to the end of the header
- |section.

- |Elm 2.x does not have an option that lets you see and edit the elmheaders
- |file on a message by message basis.
-
-
- There's a problem with this approach - at the
- end of editing and outgoing mail item, it's
- possible to edit the headers of the outgoing
- email message. Elm should be presenting the
- relevant header lines from the elmheader file
- in the appropriate slots - so if i have a
- default "Reply-To: " header I should see it
- in the "h" menu's display.
-
-
- As it stands now, 2 "Reply-To: " headers end
- up in the message instead.
-
-
- An allied problem is that (at least until 2.3.11)
- the "Reply-To: " line isn't resolved the way the
- "Cc: " line is when edited in the "h" menu. It
- would be nice to have that line treated the same
- as the "To: " & "Cc: " headers.
