Right.  So my patch is broken in that it doesn't parse the addresses
correctly.  This _should_ be easy to fix.  I knew my patch sucked, but I
wanted to get the idea out there.  For me, I don't like specifying all
that information on the command-line.  It would be nice to be able to
edit the To and Cc fields in the editor.

You mean git-send-email adds too many addresses to the Cc list, or the
code for those fields is already bloated to death?

I'm confused here.  Why would a MIME library help?

Anyway, do you, or does anyone else, think it's even worth coding the
possibility for the user to edit the To and Cc fields?
