That works, thanks!

Any email addressed only to me is flagged in my mail reader.  Because it
is probably something that requires my immediate attention.  If now mailing
lists start to do this rewriting this will no longer stand out.

Rewriting emails makes it impossible to make a mailing list archive
from a subscriber account, since the email is different for every
subscriber.  This also makes it impossible to just import emails if
you missed some, as well.  Etc.

Rewriting emails is just bad.  Don't do it.  Who is recommending that?!
