Sometimes people send mail to an entire list of people with the
intent that the recipients should *not* be able to reply to everyone,
just the original author.  This is accomplished by having the user's
alias name on the To: line and have that passed to the MTA.  In mush,
this is accompished by setting the variable, $no_expand

Are you saying that this is illegal?  I'm sure the RFC's provide
some method for accomplishing the same task if this isn't legal.
