Dear all,

I am a happy user of Alternative Addresses [1] in mutt, together with 
reverse_name and reverse_realname. I use this primarily when replying to 
a mail. This works if the mail is addressed (in headers to, and cc) to 
me. Then mutt recognizes and sets the from correctly to the matches 
address.

However, when the mail is sent for instance to a maillist or without 
setting the headers to/c, then mutt sets the default From address when 
replying (setting realname).

Would it be feasible to also let the alternates scan the mail headers 
and find the header 'To-Envelope'? For me, this seems to always contain 
the correct address to which the mail was delivered to me. Well, I do 
not know where this header comes from; could be that my exim sets these 
during delivery to maildir.


Cheers,
