Summary: 
When "Replying All" for a message that I sent myself, would be nice if Mail could be clever about To, Cc and From fields.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose a mail from Mail.app, preferably with a From account different to the default
2. Send the mail.
3. Find the mail in Sent folder and click on "Reply All"


Expected Results:
What I would like to see happen:
1. To & Cc fields preserved as per original mail
2. My sent account is not included in To field
3. From field changed to appropriate account from which original mail was sent.

Actual Results:
1. To field has my own email address in
2. Cc field has all original To & Cc recipients
3. From field is my default mail account, which may be different from the account I sent the original mail from

So if I send an email, realise I forgot something, or need to chase it up, I hit reply all to include the original mail, and I need to use the following steps:
1. Delete myself from the To field
2. Move the recipients in the Cc field to the To field, splitting out Cc recipients from original mail
3. Change From account.  I often forget to do this step and send the mail from the wrong account.

Would make the Mail Reply All function smart.
