Here is a suggestion for a new feature for elm.  In addition to 'r',
'f', and 'g', etc., there should be another key (I propose 'R') that
will do a normal reply function, but will reply to the person named
in the From: field instead of the Reply-To: field.  It is actually
quite common for a message from a list to specify a Reply-To: field
that points back to the list, when in fact it is more appropriate to
reply just to the author.  I find myself going through the laborious
process of forwarding the message and retyping the author's address,
and deleting the headers that are included when I forward instead of
replying.

Thanks for your attention.  -David-
