I am using Gnus 5.1 as a mail reader and enjoying it immensely. However, as a
mail reader it sorely needs one more bit of behavior: I'd like to arrange it
so that on mail that I send, the Summary buffer displays the person to whom
I've sent a piece of mail. Right now all my outgoing mail appears like
19-Dec ! [ 17: Mitchell Wand ] Can't requeue articles?
with no indication of who I sent it *to*. It would be much more informative
if it said something more like:
19-Dec ! [ 17: To: dworkin@ccs.neu.] Can't requeue articles?
Other mail readers do this routinely.
User-defined format items (%u?) don't seem to help directly, because they are
applied to the header data structure, which doesn't contain the data I want.
Surely somebody must have written some elisp to accomplish this. Any code, or
ideas?

Sadly, this is nontrivial for Gnus: the stuff that is displayed in the
summary buffer comes from the .overview files, and the format of
.overview files specifies no To header.
I think.

The nov format allows extra headers though, so it is "just" a question
of teaching Gnus about them.
