 That's one think I like about CMIE: When it QWKens email/
 newsgroups from a provider, it uses the Reference lines to
 construct a To field.  It's not always correct (if Cindy
 replies to a response Brian made to Alex, but only addresses
 the remarks Alex made originally, it's labeled To:Brian, even
 tho in practice it's To:Alex), but it does allow your reader to
 easily spot nearly all messages to you, and beep or whatever.
