VM wish:

When the `Sender:' or `Reply-To:' headers are identical to the `From:'
field, nuke them.  That is, simply remove them from the message as stored.
They contribute no useful information.

It would be okay if there was a way to specify to hide them, but I really
don't see any point in even keeping them in this case.

The same should also be done when these fields are a subset of the
information in the `From:' header, for example like this:

  From: mbox@host.subdom.dom (First Last)
  Reply-To: mbox@host.subdom.dom
  Sender: mbox@host.subdom.dom

These fields shouldn't be removed if they contain additional information
such as a different comment.
