It doesn't look to me like this does what you asked for; this just
means that each copy a member of the list receives will be addressed
to just that person, not the whole list.

So Fred will get

To: Fred <[log in to unmask]>
Subject: test

And Betty will get

To: Betty <[log in to unmask]>
Subject: test

So no clue of who else is on the list.
