Hi,

I have:

  (setq message-default-headers "To: dave@boost-consulting.com")

which is designed to make sure I'm on the recipient list of any
message or reply I send.  This works great, except that it results in
multiple To: headers and it seems that some very popular mail systems
(hotmail) reject emails that come in with multiple To: headers, or
they ignore the first To: header, or some such thing.  In any case, I
sent a message to my brother's hotmail account several times and he
received nothing until I made sure there was only one To: header.

So, the question: is this curable?  I'm sure hotmail is wrong and evil
for mistreating my emails this way, but I'd really prefer to
accomodate it rather than be unable to communicate with 10% (I guess)
of all email users.

TIA,
--
