Provided that the mail is originally addressed to [B]CC to all recipients 
then this ought to be quite easy to implement. I don't intend the utility 
to scan all the .TXT files and try to combine multiple mails into one 
where the same content is being sent to more than one host, though. Each 
mail will be treated in isolation, preferably without having to modify 
(or even look at) the .TXT file at all.

In theory the [B]CC: headers are irrelevant - all the information is in 
the .wrk file anyway. Or am I missing something?
