This is right.

My idea was that different recipients have different threading anyways.
OK, threading for multiple recipients can be conserved with group replies.
I thought that usually you specify a single mailing list as recipient.
My use case is that I have additional recipients that do not necessarily
want to be seen as recipients on the mailing list that is specified as
the primary recipient.

Maybe it would be useful to make this optional?

Thanks for your comments!
