It is open source.  I don't use it or I would be motivated to supply a
patch for it.  If someone was using it and wanting that feature you
would think they would be motivated to fix that lack of functionality.

No, because that breaks Reply-To: for the purpose for which it was
designed.  Don't create a bug to try to fix another bug.  That just
ends you up with two bugs instead of one.  Another incarnation of two
wrongs do not make a right.
