Use the 'bounce' command ('b').  You might have to enable it in your setup
first.

	It is best *not* to use the bounce command in this case.  Why?
Because bounce does not alter the original header that was typed in
error.  So, if you have a To: which is bad and Cc: which is good 
and the person on the Cc: list does a reply their reply will bounce
too.

	So, I would recommend using the forward from the sent-mail
folder and do whatever minor editing you need to make it look
"right".  The other way is to save the message from the sent-mail
folder to the postponed-mail folder and do a compose.  You'll
be prompted to resume composing.  Take it from there.....
