Ok here is what I did !
1. Set up an group alias : test
2. this forwards mails to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
3. from the jalla account this is the header of the mail (below)
4. No X-RCPT-TO says : [EMAIL PROTECTED] only test@.... which is the alias

That's the way it is supposed to be.
The "To:" that is shown in mail clients comes from the header of the
message. The message header is created by the E-mail client (the sender of
the message), except for a few headers that get added along the way.
Often E-mails get sent to multiple people. Using the "To:" field, all of
them get the exact same message, with the same initial headers.
In IMail, you're lucky, because you *can* see <another account> (although
nobody else receiving the message will). It's hidden in the headers in the
"X-RCPT-TO: " field.
Using the "To:" field actually is going to work very well for me, as I have
a domain name with a bunch of different E-mail addresses that all come to
me. Since I configured my E-mail client to get the mail, I already know
what the <another account> is. And, through the "To:" field, I can see the
actual E-mail address that it was sent to.
