Perhaps Gnus could warn if the user types multiple To: lines though? OTOH, minibuffer queries are pure evil, so the warning must be non-obtrusive if it is present at all. Perhaps coloring the second To red and having a balloon help with information would work; or some tty-friendlier variation of the same idea. Perhaps other message.el warnings could be recast like this too. The non-legible character set question would be really nice to get rid of IMHO. Just highlight the illegible text in the message buffer, and when the user sends the message, really do send it.
