Initially, sendmail did insert To: lines instead of Apparently-To:
lines, and I got flamed at from 30 directions.  The main problem
is that the recipient list at any site other than the originating
site only has a subset of the address list.  People felt this was
misleading.  Apparently-To: was a compromise; I don't care much for
it either.
