2 things spring immediately to mind:
1) When a message is To: or CC: someone, it gets to them a lot faster
(sent directly instead of passing through vger's various degrees of
mailing-list constipation).
2) Some mail readers (f.e. Pine) provide visual cues for messages that
include your e-mail address in the To: line. This is immensely useful
when I'm scanning the 1000 messages in my INBOX for ongoing conversations
I'm involved in.
