I just ran across something that strikes me as "strange".  If I mail a message
to someone and set either the "Action:" header or the "Priority" header, or
both, these headers are propogated to all subsequent messages I mail and to all
subsequent replies I generate, in that Elm session.   Is this the intended
behavior of Elm?  

I can understand "user headers" being kept around for later messages, but I
would think that things like "Priority" would be cleared for each new message.

Or do I merely misunderstand the world here?
