1.  Most emails have both text and html parts nowadays.  If I'm
   reading such a message want to store the html part it always
   stores it with a .txt suffix.  And, because browsers don't
   actually look at the contents, they treat itas a text file
   instead of a html file so I have to rename the file.  Would be
   nice if it stored it with a .htm or .html suffix.

FWIW, yeah, that totally bugs me as well.  It's on my list of things
to fix (but I'm kinda busy now, so it won't happen for a while).  In
theory, I would think it would be relatively easy, but I just have
to trawl through a bunch of code to figure out how that works.

Add this to your profile:

  mhstore-store-text/html: %m%P.html

We could add it to mhn.defaults.  But it would be nice to have a
more general solution.

2.  I have a whole pile of mail aliases for myself in my domain
   that I use for communications with different parties. I usually
   create a new one for every merchant with whom I do business.
   If I receive an email directed to one of these aliases and
   reply to it it uses my address instead of the alias in the from
   and I always have to change it.  Would be nice if it used the
   incoming address.

You can actually do that now, with the existing format files.  Okay, yes,
the format language isn't wonderful, but you can use fmttest(1) to help
you debug that now.  This message actually uses that technique.  You
probably want something like:

From: %{to}

in there.  Or maybe:

From: Jon Steinhart %(addr{to}))

That falls apart if there are multiple To: addresses.
