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.
