The named lists feature of RFC822 *allows*, but does not *require*,
any or all of the recipients to be listed. Thus,
To: Listname:(xyz discussion group);
is perfectly valid, and keeps the header short, as desired.
If this discussion is to continue, it should be on one list or the
other, not both. I'm not on LSTSRV-L, but will join if people think
that's the appropriate list. I cc'd LSTSRV-L because Eric's posting
was to both lists.
