One of my questions in <1991Jun07.200134.16973@vpnet.chi.il.us> read:

| Filter's "forward" and "execute" commands keep the affected letters out of
| the default mailbox.  Maybe one can name more than one recipient in a
| forward command in the filter rules (the Filter Guide doesn't say), but if
| one can, it would then return to one's own incoming mail as a letter from
| oneself, not from the original writer, correct?

One can list more than one forwardee (including real-oneself) in a forward
command in .elm/filter-rules, thus keeping a copy and not making a loop,
but it does arrive as a letter from "The Filter of [oneself]," and r)eplying
won't get addressed to the author but rather to the forwarder.  It isn't
quite what I hoped for.
