In the early 1990s when I first started using Usenet, IIRC just about every
(if not all) messages ported over to my BBS were "To: All" and responses
from the BBS side, while showing a To: receipient locally, were posted to
usenet as if "To: All."

Now, most of the messages that come across the Usenet gates have a
receipient listed.  Very few replies still come across as "To: All."

Not sure if that answers you question or not.  ;)
