/*
* Who a reply is addressed to.
*
* The hard half is replying to something *I* sent, which is what following up
* on your own last message is. The conversation is with the people I wrote to;
* addressing the reply to myself, or to my own Reply-To, sends it nowhere
* useful -- and on a Reply all it quietly demotes everyone I was talking to
* into Cc.
*
* There was a guard for this and it was sound. What it rested on was not: it
* asked whether an address was in the identity list, which is empty before
* identities load, misses an alias or a shared mailbox the server does not list
* as an identity, and compared strings where the rest of the codebase uses
* `sameAddress`. Each miss was silent. So the folder is asked first -- a
* message in Sent is mine whatever address it went out as -- and the identity
* list is the second opinion rather than the only one (#275).
