[mew-int 01259] Replying to messages - retaining name information

(Resending message, with some mess hopefully cleaned up ...).

I've been using Mew for a few years now ... like it. Generally I use
the latest version or close to.

One feature I would really like is when replying to emails that the
"names" associated with addresses are copied into the draft message.
Currently the names are removed.  I know I can use the address book
to capture names (C-uC-cC-a) and then expand them back in (M-tab),
but in many cases I would rather the names just get copied. 

I would particularly like the feature when I'm replying to group
emails where I dont really want to put all the addressees in the
address book.

I previously put this request for extension back in Mar 2001 [mew-int 00276].

Just wondering if it has moved up the priority list :-)

Or perhaps other people Do Things Differently so that it isnt important?
