I dunno, +this+ list does just what I said. The +original+ msg-id,
in-reply=to, and references are passed along nicely.

Ah, but the "To: gcc-bugs" is what my mail reader (the Mutt) detects and
displays in the addressee column. Even if it didn't, the anti-spam
munging of the originator's name would make it too long to fit
conveniently on the screen.

Ah, there is another pain! That stuff is (to me) just garbage that is
not visible until I open the message, and is then duplicated in the
body. Further, to reply to the mail cleanly, I must then +manually+
remove that junk from the "To: " of the reply. A pain, as I said.
