We could just delete the `S W' (i. e. `F') code and point `S w' at the
`S V' code.  But it'd be a quite user-visible change.

On the other hand, like we said before, I can't really imagine somebody
not wanting the `S v' action.  It'd be like "I have this range of
articles that I want to respond to, but I want the responses only to go
to the senders/recipients of this first message".  I mean, it's possible
that somebody would want that, but then they could just delete the extra
Cc addresses manually.

I vote for removing the `F' code, pointing `F' at the `S V' code and
then undefining `S V'.
