And also (with the OE6 I have, at least):

Move
Copy
Forward
Reply with message
Stop processing more rules
Do not download
Delete from server

Most people will just want Move (and maybe "stop processing"), I suspect.  I
don't see how we could use: secure, attachment, size, or priority (unless we
stole priority for only our own uses), and body is ugly, so that does leave
us with subject or addresses.

It would be nice (in this context at least) if OE recognised it and offered
(with a "do not ask me again" box) to ignore the address.  Sadly, you appear
to just get a regular bounce from the mailer (well, my mailer, anyway).

I think this would be a reasonable method of notating the To: header.  Given
that Subject: and To: aren't (so we find) identical already, and treating
them identically doesn't make much sense, this seems a reasonable solution.

Anyone mind if I change (for 1.1) notate_to to do exactly this?
