Frequently asked.  Yes, it is a Very Bad Thing.

If it *really* upsets you, there's list header option to do it.

The problems are:

1) It hides the fact this was a *list* posting rather than a one-to-one
mailing (which can be confusing if the poster is somebody you exchange
direct mail with as well).

2) If you have a list with 500 subscribers, this results in 500 1-recipient
mail messages rather than 1 message with 500 recipients.  The distinction
will probably not be lost on your mail hub administrators.....
