No, other than the method you've already discovered.

To see how mush deals with multiple headers with the same name, use
the "echo -h" command and an appropriate formatting string.  In this
particular case try "echo -h %f".

What you should see is the contents of *both* From: headers, separated
by a comma.  There isn't any way to get mush to reorder the headers,
so hdr_format strings %a and %n are always going to use the first one,
but you will get the second From: included when you "replyall".

} What I do now is edit the message and
} insert ">" before the first From: .

Why not just delete it entirely?
