Is there any other header besides Delivered-To that has the information 
you need? My information is that this header is defined in an experimental 
RFC from about 3 years ago, but I do not find it in the headers of the 
message I am replying to, so it has not been widely adopted yet.

The main problem we are going to have is that Alpine's interface does not 
lend itself to a high degree of configuration, so you would have to 
hard-code this, so let's see what it takes. I just do not know if it is 
unreasonable to ask a person to use roles in this case.
