There's that, and there's the fact that people want all sorts of crazy
things to happen with their email and I'd rather provide them a
programming language to describe their ideas than have to implement a
configuration option for each one.

You're right. I was thinking before-edit passed in the message object.

What about something that more specifically addresses the problem at
hand? E.g. a reply-from hook, that takes the message object, and returns
a Person object to be used as the from?
Adding a hook is very low cost, so I'm not opposed to having fairly
specific things like this.

Yeah... I discovered on 4/27 that all my outgoing messages since 4/23
had been discarded. So I re-sent them with Sup's edit-as-new command,
which doesn't preserve Reply-To and References headers. It probably
should. Sorry!
