Screenshot of mulberry's "reply to" dialog

When you click "reply to" in Mulberry (there is only one such button) it
presents a list of *all* the email addresses involved in a message including
the From: address with a suggested set of fields for the reply. You can
manually change this (moving people from To: to Cc: etc and removing them,
adding people who aren't suggested, etc) or use the buttons at the bottom to
choose different standard recipient sets.

Although this introduces an extra step in the reply to process, I find it
extremely powerful, as it gives me total confidence that my response is going
to the right people. It also allows me to "reply to" messages I've sent which I
sometimes use to add information which I forgot (this is convenient and results
in saner threading).

Would a similar feature solve this problem? I was hunting for "reply to" wish
list items to see if anyone had added anything like this when I came across
this report.

Changing "reply to" to a drop down button in the tool bar, and allowing the
user to choose which type of reply to was the default (including always popping
up a box such as this) would be ideal for me, I think.

Feel free to ask for more details if this sounds interesting but isn't clear.

Cheers,
Hamish
