I leave  the list name in the TO: field, but I add a List-Unsubscribe 
header and use VERH to put the recipient address in that.

Advantage of List name in the TO: field is that it seems more 
"correct".  The message was not sent to a single individual; it was 
sent to a group; and the recipient should be aware of that.   Having 
the list name also makes it easier for the recipient to filter list 
mail, although a Sender header could work for that.

Only advantage I see to using VERH in the TO field is to get around 
moronic spam filters that don't like mail that isn't addressed to the 
recipient.  I don't think that's a good basis for blocking mail, and 
I wouldn't be sympathetic to any subscriber who was behind such a 
filter..
