I see; interesting.

Yes, it does sound quite attractive. For instance, in Gnus, when
responding to a message, there's... I don't know how many commands.
Let's see:
S F gnus-summary-followup-with-original
S L gnus-summary-reply-to-list-with-original
S N gnus-summary-followup-to-mail-with-original
S R gnus-summary-reply-with-original
S V gnus-summary-very-wide-reply-with-original
S W gnus-summary-wide-reply-with-original
S f gnus-summary-followup
S n gnus-summary-followup-to-mail
S r gnus-summary-reply
S v gnus-summary-very-wide-reply
S w gnus-summary-wide-reply
S B R gnus-summary-reply-broken-reply-to-with-original
S B r gnus-summary-reply-broken-reply-to
13! Geez. Anyway, the interface you describe would fit this use case
well, it seems to me: The choices are whether to include the original or
not, and what subset of the To/Cc's to include in the set... Currently,
users are probably tapping `S C-h' and then learn what the binding is,
and then using that. And then forgetting until the next time.
A Magit-like popup menu would probably be a much superior interface
here, I think?
