"Reply to *typed* address"

When one hits "r" from the index screen or while reading an item, 
one means "reply to whatever originator/sender/reply-to address is
in the header of this item".

But other than laboriously rewriting the address on the headers
screen, there's no (simple) way to specify a different address.
And it's so much easier to specify the addr while one can still see it
in an item or so, whereas a twitch of the finger can send the item to
the wrong addr if this action has to be delayed till after writing the
item...

In the doc I have access to, the "r" command is explained, but there
seems to be no "R" command.  And "R" isn't recognized by this version
of elm.  

Request:
What about supporting "R" as a command where one can specify the address
one wishes to use?  Or alias, of course.
If already on the wishlist, then add me as pro-voter.  ;-)

Regards.
