This may be one that has already been wished-for; however, I've lost
track.  :-)

When FORWARDing or REPLYing to a piece of mail I would like to be able
to do a 'REPLYTO' for *any* of the appropriate header lines.  For
example I get some item as POSTMASTer and I forward it on to our
Academic Analyst; I would like to be able to set the Reply-To for myself
or the original Sender or From in addition to the normal REPLYTO
possibilities.  To prevent any confusion with what may be in the
NAMES files you might have the syntax indicating usage of a header
line include the colon as in:  REPLYTO "resent-from:"
Of course now we get into the "how do I INCLUDE and EXCLUDE the REPLYTO
addresses?"  :-)

Also it would be nice to be able to do something like "REPLYTO ?" and
have a message indicating where a reply to this item will be sent --
whether there is a Reply-To in it or not.  This would enable *any* user
to do a quick check to be sure that replies will be sent as intended.

I only mention these things because I know that Richard has very little
to do these days and nobody seems willing to request additional knobs
and whistles for the MAIL/MAILBOOK package.  Just don't want you to feel
neglected, Richard!  Heh heh heh...
