We can tell from a mailing list's configuration what the distribution 
address should be, but I guess we don't know what previous addresses it 
had, so it's not as simple as I was thinking to do this munging (I was 
thinking just a search/replace).

Maybe the appropriate modifications from the original message would be 
to add as a "To" address the current list address iff it does not appear 
in the To or CC addresses in the archived message (and to re-set 
ReplyTo, if reply-to-munging is set).
