6- Find a way to store "envelope to" in a mailbox.

Envelope from is in the mbox format, I don't know about the
other mailbox types, but if anybody knows what the common ways
that MDA's put this info in, when they do, maybe we could use
that. I'm thinking of an X-Envelope-[From|To] field, that
the evelope_t would understand.

7- I'm not sure how I'm going to use the mailer API. It seems to pull
the from and destination addresses from the message. This doesn't
work, what about when you want to do what sieve calls an "MTA style
forward", just change the envelope from and to, and kick the message
on without changing it?

Also, does it remove the BCC lines? I guess that sendmail does
when used as the messeage injection interface (i.e. if you
send a message to it's stdin, it will make sure the message has
a message ID, a date, stip the bcc and add those addresses to the
envelope to, etc). I'm not so sure that when you talk to an MTA
using smtp that it will do this.

I'm going to check what my ISP does when I telnet in and give it a
message... Ok, InterMail stripped the Bcc, I don't know if it delivered
it to the address in the Bcc, I guess I'll find out monday.

Can we rely on this? I'd hate to have bcc's leak out!
