Either:
reply to your previous message that you're correcting - mutt notices
that it was *from* you, and sends the reply to the same "To" address
(Jill).
Or:
reply to the same earlier message from Jill.
The differences will be which is quoted in the "In-Reply-To" header (and
so how the thread will be presented), and of course which message gets
quoted if you say yes to "include message in reply".
