I don't think so.  I don't think a user that want "a" to "just work"
in folders with personal mail is necessary any more advanced than a
user that want "a" to "just work" in folders with mailing lists.

If we want MFT to just work, maybe we should change the parameter
interface.  E.g. have a single parameter 

            mail-address

which states the main mail address associated with the folder, and
another 

            mail-type
                Unknown (default)
                Personal        use m-a for "a", don't set 
                Open List       use m-a for "a", set MFC
                Closed List     use m-a for "a" and "f", set MFC

which state what type of folder it is.

We can add more later (like Outgoing or News Gateway), if necessary.

The "to-list" and "to-address" parameters should then be recognized
for backward compatibility, but no longer be part of customize UI or
main documentation.
