Hmm, it's interesting.  It messes with what's To and what's Cc, but it's
better than just replying to the list, which I hate because you never
know who's subscribed to it (e.g., most people in the groff@ mailing
list don't send me a copy of their responses, and I'm not subscribed to
the list; or in other lists, even if I'm subscribed to the list, I won't
read most stuff unless either the subject looks interesting or I'm To or
Cc).

While I'll keep not using it, I'll honor it, now I understand it.  :)
