Good for us!

Not currently possible and I don't recall such a patch.  You can patch
this yourself, for your particular preferemce, of course.  I would
consider a more general approach, but the everlasting concern is that
we have so, so many configuration values already; do we want to add one
that is not widely wanted?  Probably worth some design discussion on
mutt-...@mutt.org.  (One idea to throw out there: a single config value
which is by default "To Cc Bcc"; each token is a prefix mapped to a
case.)

First apply this patch:
https://bitbucket.org/dgc/mutt-dgc/raw/tip/replacelist

Then apply this patch:
https://bitbucket.org/dgc/mutt-dgc/raw/tip/subjectrx

These probably should go upstream.  I'll have to stop putting it off.
