Depending upon how BIG your list is, do a


SCAN listname *

and creatively edit the output and use that (perhaps subsetting it) and
send your correspondents email via BCC.

Hopefully, your ISP won't think you are a spammer.

Caveat Emptor.


Alternatively, send your fav. listserv manager a case of beer and ask her
to do a DISTRIBUTE for you (or perhas add you as an authorized user of
that facility (I think that can be separately authorized w/o you becoming
a listserv god)).

You did make friends w/ your listserv manager, right??? :-)
