I like the default summary format:

"%2n %*%a %-17.17F %-3.3m %2d %4l/%-5c \"%s\"

However, when the message is from me (e.g. it's a CC), the F field
conveys no information.  When the message is from me, I'd like to know
who the recipient was.

I put the following extra lines of code into vm-su-do-author in
vm-summary.el.  Instead of

    (if (or (null full-name) (string-match "^[ \t\n]*$" full-name))
        (setq full-name from))
    (vm-set-full-name-of m full-name)
    (vm-set-from-of m from)))

at the very end of the vm-su-do-author defun, I have

    (if (or (null full-name) (string-match "^[ \t\n]*$" full-name))
        (setq full-name from))
    ;; Added this sexp to put recipient in summary if I'm the author.
    (if (string-equal "David S. Browning" full-name)
        (setq full-name
              (concat "To: "
                      (or (vm-get-header-contents m "To")
                          (vm-get-header-contents m "Apparently-To")))))
    (vm-set-full-name-of m full-name)
    (vm-set-from-of m from)))

(BTW, I did this in version 4.41.  I don't know if the same code works
in version 5.31.)

Any comments?  A better way to do this?  I think it would be a great
feature for vm to do this automatically somehow.  It took me a while
to figure this out.  I haven't written very much elisp at all (this is
about it!).
