I tend to agree that sounds like a better way to structure these
features.

I wonder if we can safely repurpose existing --in-reply-to option?
That is, if the value of --in-reply-to can be reliably determined as
a filename that has the message (as opposed to a message-id), we
read the "Message-Id:" from that file to figuire out what message-id
to use, and figure out To/Cc: to use for the purpose of your (1) at
the same time.  In the future, you might even teach send-email,
perhaps via a user configurable hook, a way to get to the message
header and text given a message-id, and when it happens, the same
logic can be used when --in-reply-to is given a message-id (i.e. you
go from the id to the message and find the addresses you would
To/Cc: your message).
