Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

in an email thread i often want to reply to an email where the other party has not replied yet.
If I "reply" to the last email i wrote (which i always do so that context is not lost) the email is then addressed to me because i am the origin of the last email.

Describe the solution you'd like

pressing "reply" in a thread where the latest email was written by me should address the email to the other party of the thread not to myself.

Describe alternatives you've considered

forwarding but not sensefull have to retype other party's adress

Research direction

Start by tracing the thread's Reply action in the mail UI and how it chooses recipients when the latest message is from the current user. Done means Reply addresses the other party in that thread rather than the current user, while preserving normal behavior for threads whose latest message is from someone else.
