My fault: I was implying that you have edit_headers on:
:set edit_headers="yes"

Now run that “hack” again and your good to go. 🙂

True, you could maybe even put it into the postponed location and then try to send
that message. I guess that could work as one nice macro, too.
If the above does not work, let’s elaborate on this idea later.

Anyhow I guess, edit_headers="yes" opens up some new capabilities; maybe
even doing everything inside emacs without the “hack” above.

Nice, any chance that this system will be talked about in a blog or
something like that? This CRM of yours sounds like an interesting read.

Great!
