Actually ELM is advertized as removing the user from the to  and cc lists
of the original message when doing a group reply. I haven't investigated
this bug,  but I suspect ELM might be having a hard time telling if
an address is to the user or not - it would involve a great deal of parsing
and understanding of all manner of address formats.
