Allow adding (or replying) initial/default recipient when replying to a PM

Title:
Allow adding (or replying) initial/default recipient when replying to a PM

Area:
inbox, private messages

Summary:
When replying to a Dreamwidth PM sent to you, allow adding recipients to the initial recipient (sender of the message you're replying to), or even replacing that recipient with an arbitrary list, for a quick and dirty forward,

Description:
This wouldn't breach privacy that I can see (who the original message went to), because the only initial recipient of the reply would be the sender, as it already is, and no other recipient of the original message would be offered as a suggestion or listed. (Indeed, that would be impossible, as the list of original recipients isn't kept anywhere. One message sent to several users looks the same as several identical messages sent very close.)

"My first thought certainly wasn't "people shouldn't see who the original message went to", as I already know that even the original recipient never sees that."

So the idea is to copy the original message you receive and your reply to it to others, without anyone seeing who the original recipient was? Is this already possible, or is this what the OP wants to implement? I am totally and completely lost.
