That sounds great! Another approach I considered would be to make it possible to pipe the message through an external command which would rewrite headers just enough to make it possible for mutt to figure out where to send its replies based on the capacities it already has. T be clear, the rewritten message would just be passed to mutt for its processing, it would not be saved anywhere nor affect the original meessage in any way.
