I thought of another use for this.  Suppose I followup on ding to a
message from Kai.  There's no MFT in the original message, but I know
Kai reads ding, so I want my message to go only to ding.  So I can do:
(add-to-list 'message-hierarchical-lists
             '("ding@gnus.org" "kai.grossjohann@cs.uni-dortmund.de"))
So maybe the variable should be called m-h-addresses or some such
instead of m-h-lists?

(Ted, if no one's sent you the email about the paperwork, I think you
can talk to fsf-records@gnu.org to find out what information they
need, which you'd then send back to them; then they'll send you a
paper form in the mail, and you'll sign it and mail it back.  Odd that
the initial list of information they need doesn't seem to be on the
GNU web site.)
