Here is a sort of work around. It may not actually do what you want but
by looking in two places it might help.
In your browser window [not sure whether or not this works with find
results]... select all the e-mails of which you want to see the real e-
mail address.
The tap and hold the reply button in the toolbar. You will see reply to
sender, and reply to all. You should also see "reply single message"...
choose that. [Note: this doesn't work if the reply-to is a mailing list
or yahoo group]. You then should see the addresses in that "fake" new e-
mail and can perhaps compare it to the list in the browser [or find?] window.
Apple Mail has an option for showing complete addresses... probably
powermail should???

Thanks Barbara;
interesting workaround but not quite industrial-strength enough for me;
I need to see the 'real' address of *every message* in my database --
or at least all those that have been sent to a particular domain.
That's a lot of messages, far more than can be shown in the recipient
list of a reply message.
Good sideways thinking though.
