others have suggested just using f)orward... how about just having it
verify the To: address the same way that it verifies the subject?

i.e. when you reply, it shows you who you're replying to and then says

Subject: RE: foo

And lets you CHANGE the subject if you want to.

Why not do the same thing for To:?  One extra carriage return for people
who don't want to change it, and easy access for people who do want to.

I've always found it annoying to have to save the article and then
remember to go to the header screen.  Especially if it's a long
response, by the time I ZZ out of vi, I've forgotten that I wanted to
change the header :-)

This would not require using any additional command keys and would be a
very minor change to the interface -- all you have to do is hit one
extra carriage return, and if you forget, nothing bad will happen, you
just have to hit carriage return again.
