 (I'm explicitly including this because I don't see it in the ticket; I
 only got it in email. Sorry if I'm looking at the wrong thing.)

 My plugin creates a form where the user enters a message which is sent as
 a notification to multiple recipients, and all recipients' Jabber IDs show
 up in the message text. I want the recipients to be able to quickly reply-
 to-all. The plugin searches the start of the message for strings of the
 form "To <jabber ID>". If it finds a matching string(s), it creates the
 "Reply to all" button, configured to bring up the form for entering a
 message to send to the list of users from the search text and the original
 sender. Please let me know if this isn't clear or if there are
 questions/comments.

 That's my particular application, which has been written and works as
 described, but any plugin which wants to modify the notification form
 would probably find this patch useful. Thanks.
