Oops, you're right---I meant swapping of struct user.
Presumably there's nothing magic about init's pcb and kstack, though.

In the absence of a Mail-Followup-To or Reply-To header in the
message I'm replying to, mutt seems to generate a Mail-Followup-To
for everyone but me (since it knows I'm subscribed and wants to
direct others not to CC me.) It doesn't know if anyone else wants a
CC or not because they didn't use Mail-Followup-To, so it includes
them by default. I think this is what it's supposed to do, but if
you know of a knob that I ought to turn, let me know.
