This implies that the senders know exactly what to use the To: and what to
use the Cc: header from, where my correspondents seem to to be that sure
about. :-)

I changed this because the tied-to-addresses (thanks btw for that!) didn't
match the identities if a tied-to-address was in another header than To:.
And that didn't make sense to me because we try as hard as we can to find a
matching address but were then leaving out all the other address headers.
