There's nothing wrong with that - Norm's issue was that sometimes he was
sending to no-one but himself, not which header the addresses appear in.
oh, right. i'd forgotten the details.
Technically (as far as the e-mail standards go) there's no difference at
all between To and cc - it's all just human factors (bcc, if it contains
addresses, is just the same). Addresses in "to" is supposed to indicate
primary recipients, and "cc" recipients that are just included for info only.
i feel as if i've used an MUA at some point which got confused by a an
empty or missing To header, but trying the couple i have on hand, none
seem to care. perhaps it was mailing list software. in any case, i
understand your point.
