I am looking for suggestions on how to implement an intended improvement
to elm.  The intention is that when you are replying to a note that you
authored, e.g. one in your =sent or other savecopy folder, the generated
To: address will not be yourself but rather the person to whom you
originally addressed the message.

The question is, what criterion should be used for identifying this
condition?  One possibility is that the address you would otherwise be
using matches the name of the folder from which you are extracting the
note.  Probably a better solution is to compare the From: address of the
original message to your own username.  In the case of a match the
address substitution is performed.

I am looking for alternative suggestions and votes and comments on the
above suggestions.  -David-
