If I replace "x-spam-status" by "to", and there are multiple "To:" fields,
I'm not sure what I want. I think I want each addressee on a separate line.
But whatever I want,

      % scan -width 9999 -format '%{to}' messages ...

does not give me what I want. Parsing its output, distinguishing commas
used as delimiters, and commas within quotes, is not quite trivial.
