Don't forget that for some moderated mailing lists, the original "To:" field
is of the form shown.  For example:

	From: Frank da Cruz <fdc@watsun.cc.columbia.edu>
	To: C-Kermit Developers and Testers <kermit@columbia.edu>
	Subject: C-Kermit 6.0 is released
	Bcc: big, long, list, of, users, who, signed, up, to, get, notified

In this case, I'm talking about a list that only the moderator is allowed to
post to; replies are NOT allowed to go to the list has a whole.

How well does Lyris handle this sort of non-interactive mailing list?
