Actually, he needs the "-t" because the addresses need to be hidden in the
Bcc line. So he needs to have the script output a Bcc header (and To, and
Subject). Putting the addresses on the command line adds them to the "To"
header and exposes them to recipient MUAs.
He also needs to customize the "From:" header, which also means he will
need to use "-t".
