First of all, I'm not sure why you would want to do this.  Think for a
moment about the message that is addressed for fifty different people
besides your list - and the ugly mess that results when it is sent on.  Also
think about the privacy issue - it could be that those people DO NOT want
a 1,000 member list to know their email addresses.  I know that I always
am unhappy when my email address ends up in a list of addresses when
someone forwards their favorite joke to their entire address book, and I
usually write to give them instructions on BCC.  There are people in the
internet who make their cigarette money selling email addresses.  If your list
is set up for it, you can see the full list of recipients by examining the
detailed headers.
