What concerns me with this method is that in-reply-to will include my own
mail id, even if it is not a reply but a resending of my own mail.

One applicable situation could be when I would like to arrange a meeting,
with someone (say Beth). However, after sending the first mail, I discover
that I forget to say when the meeting is going to take place. I resend the
mail with the date and time. I do not consider this as a reply and, thus,
In-reply-to should not be set, but only References (according to RFC2076,
para 3.6). Though, I may be to restrictive in definition of reply.

What I had in mind in my original thinking was to have a quadoption question
in the resend function for including the reference of the original mail.
That would keep the To: field intact.
