That is becoming increasingly evident. With a 'y' immediately before the
first '<', the improvement is triggering on the x...@yyy.asn.au, and
pushing the 'y', as evidenced by inclusion without the prompt which
occurs for any other reply target. But, sadly, no <edit-to> is done, and
all 4 fields of the From: header are transferred to To:, as if nothing
other than the 'y' were pushed.

Tried "set include=yes", but that also fails to <edit-to>. I'll try to
upgrade mutt, something which has languished on the ToDo list for a long
time. (Too many irons in the fire.)

Thanks for taking a nibble at it, Kevin.
