Unlisted systems? I'm not quite following. On my system it lists it as
going to the address you specify, which may automatically be picked out
from a reply or a cross-post, and may even be selected out of a personal
address list of regulars. 

In a point environment, the nodelist is a bit of a waste. Sure, it lets you
view the name of the destination system, but what advantage is that?
