I emphatically disagree.  Error messages must be directed to the
envelope return address.  Period.  Mailing lists direct error messages
by changing the envelope return address during list expansion.

I have heard numerous people claim a need for a header to identify
that a message has undergone list expansion, but I have yet to hear a
clear, rational statement of what problem such a header is supposed to
solve.
