I think it would in most cases. But the whole point of the Separate Group
script was to conceal from the recipients the fact that they are part of a
mass mailing. Otherwise, the usual thing of just suppressing the other
recipient names from the option on the group window would be good enough. Or
BCC-ing the group with yourself as To recipient. You don't need a script at
all then. But in all these ways of doing it, you can tell from the headers
what's going on, and in the latter many ISPs include the other recipients'
names there as "Apparently-To:". So I came up with my script. But in the
earlier versions you couldn't preserve HTML. Then someone wrote "Hoe can I
do it in HTML?" I wrote back saying "You can't", but then I started thinking
about it. I was very pleased to figure that stuff out. It will be useful for
other situations too.

I had actually put some of the script in a try/error block, then noticed
that it wasn't doing anything. Very puzzling until i noticed that 'source'
is dynamically updating the time/date every instant of an unsent message's
life until it is sent, but 'headers' doesn't. So they didn't match up, and
errored out. One of those quirks maybe even Dan has forgotten about (? not
the updating of source, I'm sure, but maybe the non-updating of headers?).
