+\r
+To decide which from address to use for replying, the CLI (and therefore\r
+emacs ui) looks for primary and other email addresses in the\r
+reply-to/from, to, cc, bcc, envelope-to, x-original-to, and finally\r
+received headers, in this order, before falling back to just using\r
+primary email.\r
+\r
+If someone is interested (read: I'm too busy right now), and it's\r
+desirable, it would be a one-liner to add delivered-to in the to_headers\r
+array in guess_from_received_header() in notmuch-reply.c. Plus a few\r
+dozen lines of test code. ;)\r
