Now I am curious, which mailer are you using?

Yes, I know, I do basically the same, as I am also reading the
digest. Although for me it's pretty easy as I use Emacs (*)

1 - mark mail with mouse
2 - press 'm' to create a new mail message in another frame
3 - press mouse button to paste in new mail
4 - mark destination address with mouse
5 - paste destination address with mouse

And then edit the mail the usual way. Takes about 5 sec. extra.

Mayby you should try Emacs, its useful for a lot of other stuff as well... :-)

* Emacs 21.2 with VM-mailer and CUA-mode
