Yes.

To the best of my knowledge, under normal circumstances, the archives
don't keep any X-Headers. There is a setting that can change that, though.

It means that even if other addresses appear in the TO and CC headers,
the LISTSERV will not display them in any way.

To the best of my knowledge, it's all or none. The manual doesn't say
anything about having two separate indications.

Whether or not you want subcribers to know if a particular message was
also sent to other addresses. Normally, I don't care (and if I did, I'd
use BCC).
