use of MAILTO variable in crontab

["James B. Byrne" <byrnejb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to do something like this:

30 2 * * * MAILTO=testaddr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; echo "this should be mailed"

I have searched extensively and from what I have read I believe that
this should work.  But evidently I misapprehend how cron and MAILTO
is supposed to work as my example does not cause any mail to be sent
as far as I can determine from maillog.

How does one specify unique MAILTOs for different cron jobs where
the desired recipient is not the user that runs the cron job?
