Address mangling

Hi,

There is a problem in RT’s idea about address rewriting.
It sends out letters using comma-separated address lists in ‘To:’,
but on our site we strongly dislike such a manner.
Is it possible to make RT send to queue members through one
group list? (not to reveal actual recipients)

We use the following hack to do it. It’s very ugly.

I hope RT2 will support this natively.

i.e. "send all member-corresopndence to this address: ________________ "
