I think your best bet is to use scan with a custom format.  A super simple
one is:

        scan -format '%{to}'

Although this might be more complete:
        scan -format '%{to}%<{cc}\n%{cc}%>'

You might have to play with that a bit to get what you want.  I see that
you probably will need to add -width 9999 to that usage of scan.
