A common problem for our machine is that ELM extracts incorrect
return addresses.  I can live with this, but it is exasperating when ELM
dumps the letter contents onto dead.letter without any warning.  If I
edit the headers I get a warning that the address is bad, so I can fix it.

Would it be hard to modify ELM so that when the address is invalid it
invokes the headers menu?  This would be a lot easier to cope with than
having to retransmit the entire reply after editing down a huge
dead.letter file.
