I think your best bet is to use scan with a custom format.  A super simple
one is:

scan -format '%{to}'

Although this might be more complete:
scan -format '%{to}%<{cc}\n%{cc}%qqqq>'

You might have to play with that a bit to get what you want.  I see that
you probably will need to add -width 9999 to that usage of scan.

That puts multiple addresses on the same line, delimited by commas. But commas
can also occur in comments, so I would have to go to some trouble to parse the
output. Is there a variant that would put each address on on a separate line?
I tried sprinkling '\n's in your format string, to no avail.

I could try to RTFM, i.e. to read and understand the man page for mh-format,
but I've been hoping to die before that.
