Then you can write functions that can automate the generation of
vmpc-conditions and correspondingly vmpc-actions.  

Going back to your original question:

this code is backwards.  You want 

    (vmpc-substitute-replied-header "From" "To")

to copy the "To" header of the original message into the "From" header of
your response.  I believe it does work.  But the reason it is useless is
that if a message was sent from Mike to John and copied to you, and you
respond to it using this action, VMPC will use John as the "From" address in
your reponse.  That would be a fine way to irritate John!
