How could SM match to the message when it has yet to be composed?  Of
course it's the original one.  That's the only message it *could* look
at.

Send a message to one of your secondary idents from an outside email
address on another domain, totally unrelated to any of your idents.
Then reply to it.  Does the correct ident get chosen?  SM checks the
original msg FROM header, when I think it should look at the TO
header, but it's been like that for a long time, and I'm not sure
what's going on.
