Ah, got it.  That would be useful.

I think that's beyond what I'd personally think of as a "configuration
twiddle", though...

You'd do it by, what, having a 1:1 mapping between email addresses and
labels somewhere in the configuration, anything coming to the email
address gets the label, and any reply to a message with the label
(however it got it) gets the email address?

Maybe I'm just still not following your vision.

Well, that's certainly my situation.  It's possible that most of the
people who'd want to conflate everything aren't the sort of people who'd
want to use sup.  I certainly wouldn't argue against making the behavior
I prefer the default and letting other people override it with a hook.
;)

(It's also not as though the hook to only use your default address is
hard to write.)
