Incidentally, your solution makes it potentially possible for me to
hide a message from a user by putting him in the To: or Cc: fields but 
not actually sending it to him (if he has the option turned on, of
course).

Don't think that's very significant, but a malicious person could
probably stir up quite a flame war like that.
