Very creative suggestion. We need some new ideas. However, I just checked my MUAs. All of them assume that "To" is unimportant, so it is not displayed in the message list. "To" only appears in the message view (including the Preview pane). Without more visibility, it probably does not sufficiently solve the user interface need. Which also suggests why I have not seen spammers try to manipulate that field.

That setting would result if I run a mailing list "by hand", using a normal email client. I'd hit reply and then add a bunch of Bcc:'s. Of course, a suitable template would insert a subject tag instead of "Re:", et cetera. It'd be a cleaner solution than From: rewriting, inasmuch as it saves the association between display names and addresses, for the sake of address books consistency. The anomaly of seeing authors in To: fields, with some getting used to it, may even become a distinguished characteristic of indirect mail flows. How unbearable would that be? And why? Maybe some comments on this subject can bring out some more details about the rightness or wrongness of the various flavors of From: rewriting.
