Bug Description

Kyle Farrel reports (viewmail-info, 2012-10-05)

For better or worse, I'm trying to get my attribution format to match
Outlook (sorry!). I can nearly get it, but one thing that seems
missing is differentiating "To" and "CC" receipients. The "%T" format
contains all recipients:

   T - full names of the recipients of the message, in a comma-separated list
       If a full name cannot be found, the corresponding address is used
       instead.

Using this the attribution is incorrect since I'd list all recipients
as "To:". Is there a format to get only "To" and only "CC"
recipients? That way I could create an attribution that accurately
represent the attribution.

It looks the design was originally meant for `to' addressees, but `cc' recipients were added willy nilly. The summary-format letter `%t' as well as the function name `vm-su-to-of' give away the original intent.

The org-mode would also like the `to' addressees, but it currently gets all recipients. It is a good idea for `vm-su-to-of' to return the addressees, and a separate new function `vm-su-to-cc-of' to return all the recipients.
