I agree - but what we have here is someone asking for a way to do something 
that makes no logical sense when the tools are right there.  I'm saying that 
the KMail authors have done it right, so make use of that rather than jumping 
through hoops to do nothing other than to get the recipient's name in 
the "To" header - when those same 95% of users won't notice.

Yes, some list software does that.  I'm not sure it's good for the state of 
the 'net, but if you're going to obsess about getting the "To" addresses 
individuated, use a list manager that does it for you.
