Out of the box.

Doable with a custom Interface::Email extension

That will be tougher since AFAIK RT uses the user to fill in the message
template. You could try stashing the actual recipient in another header
(though RT seems to discard any it does not need), or another table,
and pull it out in your template code to set the actual recipient header.
