Because we assume that you can sort on the "To" field without us
needing to add repetitive (and hence useless) bits to the header?  

Any decent mail user agent will do that, the one I use (in Emacs, of
course :-) has done it since the mid 90's.  I've heard that even fancy
so-called modern ones do it, too.
