|This is not a bug or a feature, just the way Elm works.  As Dave implimented
|Elm, the elmheaders file is just blindly copied to the end of the header
|section.

|Elm 2.x does not have an option that lets you see and edit the elmheaders
|file on a message by message basis.


	There's a problem with this approach - at the
	end of editing and outgoing mail item, it's
	possible to edit the headers of the outgoing
	email message.  Elm should be presenting the
	relevant header lines from the elmheader file
	in the appropriate slots - so if i have a
	default "Reply-To: " header I should see it
	in the "h" menu's display.


	As it stands now, 2 "Reply-To: " headers end
	up in the message instead.


	An allied problem is that (at least until 2.3.11)
	the "Reply-To: " line isn't resolved the way the
	"Cc: " line is when edited in the "h" menu.  It
	would be nice to have that line treated the same
	as the "To: " & "Cc: " headers.
