So the following seems to solve my issues with advice 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun check-my-to-field (&optional arg)
  "This function will be run before you execute followup. And it
warns you if your email address is not in the To field. That
warning is a safty message if you had been only on the BCC
field!!"
  (interactive "P")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Thanks!!!


Still the function should be generalised with a more sophisticated
search, but right now it more than sufficient for my purposes and just a
couple of minutes ago I faced a situation where I was in the BCC



BTW I am still wondering that such a functionality is not implemented,
yet.
