- There should be no reason to put the actual recipient in the To: header.
- This information is available in the message envelope up until the instant
- of final delivery, and all the mechanisms that need this information can
- reference it. Once the message is delivered it is abundantly clear who it
- is to and this information becomes superfluous.
-
- So the answer is "no, there is no way to do this because there is no reasn
- we know of to work this way". If you have a reason for wanting things to
- work differently please elaborate on it further and we'll see what we can
- do.
