Not everyone is using Eudora and Pegasus (duh), and not everyone has
the choice of what mail program they use.  Various PC mail gateways
will map the To: and From: fields into their own internal headers,
and even offer filtering based on these, but not on arbitrary rfc822 
headers.

You may not care about accomodating these users, but the fact is
that many list owners do wish to accomodate them.  I would still want
list management software that has the least impact on the most
members.
