Sure.  If I'm sending to a large number of people that may or may know each
other, I don't clutter up there display w/a bunch of addresses they don't
know.  I've received messages w/50 or more addresses, none of which I knew.
Takes up several lines on the screen pushing the message way down to the
bottom.  Or if sending out a request for quote or something like that to
multiple vendors we may or may not want each vendor to know who the
competition is.  I'm sure others have legitimate reasons as well.  It's a
handy feature; not necessarily nefarious...
