One problem that will occur if you do find a way to put the alias on the
To: line is that if a recipient uses a mailer (e.g.  ELM) that can do a
group reply (to the sender and the other recipients), the alias on the
To: line, being a private alias of the sender, will not be an
appropriate mail address.
