[mew-int 2847] mew-mail-address-list

Dear Mew users,

I have two e-mail addresses pointing to the same mailbox, 
[email protected] and [email protected].  From my 
configuration, Mew has only detected the first of these e-mail 
addresses as belonging to me.  So when I get a mail addressed to 
[email protected], and use reply all, Mew again adds this address 
to the To: header.

According to the manual, this can be solved using the variable 
"mew-mail-address-list" as follows:

(setq mew-mail-address-list
       '("^[email protected]$"
	"^[email protected]$"
	"^[email protected]$"))

but this does not seem to work.  Am I making some mistakes, or is 
this a bug?  (I also tried some different syntax found in older Mew 
manuals, which does not use the "^" and "$".)

It does work using the (undocumented) mew-regex-my-address-list as 
follows:

(setq mew-regex-my-address-list
       '("^thomas\\.danckaert$"
	"^thomas\\.danckaert@gmail\\.com$"
	"^thomas\\.danckaert@desy\\.de$"
	"^thomas\\.danckaert@gmail\\.com$"
	"^danckaer@mail\\.desy\\.de$"))

(first 4 entries were already set this way by Mew, I decided not to 
change those, and added my other address.)  Is it "safe" to change 
this variable, or is it likely to break something?

kind regards,

Thomas
