Okay, I spent some time mucking around with the exim source today
and I came up with the following patch.

It adds a member "dupbackptr" to struct address_item. For every
duplicate found, dupbackptr is set to the struct address_item
it is a duplicate from (hmm, perhaps 'dupfrom' is a better name).

This way, we can much better decide when we build the envelope-to
header how the duplicate addresses were collapsed and what the
real original addresses were.

The patch isn't that big, and is attached below. I'd like to
know what you think.

Things TODO perhaps:

- in a .forward file of the following structure:

myself
other_user

which is meant to keep a local copy and send a copy to 'other_user',
it would be desireable to set the envelope-to header for the copy
delivered to 'other_user' to 'other_user' instead of 'myself' since
the message is in fact re-sent. This might be achieved in
directors/forwardfile.c by setting a special flag in the generated
address if it's a new address which is not us. The code for envelope-to
should only take the immidiate parent if this flag is set.

- Because it's common in a .forwardfile to list ones own address
to leave a local copy, perhaps a special syntax should be invented
for that - I'm thinking of :self:

- For exim4, which I haven't looked at, you might want to do away
with the global addr_duplicate list and add duplicates to the
addresses themselves. This would be a tad cleaner.

Anyway, that is of later concern. The patch that solves my
immidiate problem is below - against 3.34. Comments welcome, I'm
not sure I know what I am doing here ;)
