Quite possibly that may have been the original intent in the hearts of
the designers of RFC822. However, today, I know of no mail client that
enables 3-way (or larger) conversations by maintaining all of the
To: entries in the outgoing To: header of replies. The "reply-to-all"
or equivalent functions that I know of all put one address in the
To: header and everything else into Cc:. Perhaps you know of one
that operates differently?
