I for one think that Yarn is _very good_ at allowing me to handle
the correction of reply addresses:

- When I do 'R', Yarn picks up the 'Reply-to:' (or the 'From:', if
there is no 'Reply-to:') and sticks it in as a 'To:' WHERE I CAN
GET AT IT WITH MY EDITOR. I then manually remove any superfluous
characters, etc., etc. [Contrast that with _some_ mail programs,
which do NOT allow easy access to the header lines of the reply.]

- In difficult situations, I always do 'R', so that Yarn feeds a
copy of the original message to my editor. Then in my editor I
can look at the original author's directions as to how to reply.
When I have corrected the address, I delete the copied original
message lines that I don't need (and delete the 'References:'
and 'Reply-To:' lines from the HEADER if I don't need *them*).
