The .wrk file contains at least 3 lines of routing information - the
destination domain, the fully qualified sender name, and the fully
qualified recipient name(s). There can be any number of recipient lines -
the message body is delivered once to the MX address for the
destinanation domain. The MX machine is told the person on the second line
is the sender. The remaining lines are sent to the MX machine as RCPT 
commands - i.e. addresses to which the mail should be sent.

I don't know about your newsreader, but cppnews, for instance, will 
generate a WRK file with multiple recipient lines if all the recipients of
a message have the same domain name.
