6fcf85bc95 Document the -d flag to mail(1) better, which comes handy when 
you want to see, e.g., sendmail arguments mail(1) will use.

-H is not an independent flag, it's a modifier.  Also explicitly
say that -H will cause mail(1) to exit as soon as it prints the headers.

27c7d5ffd1 Make the 'searchheaders' option behave how it was supposed to. If 
enabled, the string '/to:y' will match strings in the To, Cc, and Bcc
header fields. Whereas, '/To:y' will match only the To field. Edit the
manpage and a code comment to indicate the correct behavior.

but it is pretty close.

99bd6601d7 Teach boring old mail(1) about the use of the REPLYTO environment 
variable which is de-facto standard for MUAs.

Teach bomail to generate an in-reply-to header so threading MUAs and
mail->news gateways won't lose context.

While i was at it, removed two gratuitous standard violations for
functions starting with an underscore.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.
