I am subscribed to a few mailing lists where the Reply-to is set to the
list rather than the sender. It is very difficult to reply to the sender
other than hand-editing the To: field. I would like to have a way to do
this more easily. The simplest way I can think of now would be to include
the From: field in the list of recipients if you do a reply "to all" (f/F
command). I had hacked something like that in my vm4 code, but would like
to have this as a standard feature.

This was the code in vm-reply that I had:

      (if to-all
	  (progn
	    (setq cc (vm-get-header-contents (car mp) "To"))
	    (and (setq tmp (vm-get-header-contents (car mp) "From"))
		 (not (string-equal tmp to))
		 (if cc
		     (setq cc (concat cc ",\n\t" tmp))
		   (setq cc tmp)))
	    (setq tmp (vm-get-header-contents (car mp) "Cc"))
	    (if tmp
		(if cc
		    (setq cc (concat cc ",\n\t" tmp))
		  (setq cc tmp)))))
