msmtp: set 'To' field in mail header correctly

Hi,

I have configured msmtp on my PC to deliver local mails to my GMail account (via a Yahoo account):

/etc/msmtprc:

defaults
auth            on
tls             on
tls_trust_file  /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
aliases         /etc/aliases
syslog          LOG_MAIL

account         default
host            smtp.mail.yahoo.com
port            587
user            ---@yahoo.de
from            ---@yahoo.de
syslog          on
password        ---

/etc/aliases

johannes: ---@gmail.com
root: johannes
default: johannes

When I send a mail to root, the mail gets delivered to mail GMail account:

echo "Test" | mail -s "Subject" root

Everything works fine, but the "To" field in the mail is set to "root" and not to my GMail address, which seems strange:

Received: ---
From: ---@yahoo.de
Date: ---
To: root
Subject: Subject
User-Agent: mail v14.9.19
X-SMTP-MAILFROM: ---@yahoo.de
X-SMTP-RCPTTO: ---@gmail.com
X-Mailer: ---
Content-Length: 5

Test

Is there a way to set the "To" field to my GMail Adress from the /etc/aliases file?
