The list is confidential; it is also has a fairly dynamic membership; users
can request to subscribe, but subscriptions require list owner approval. The
owner wants to be sure everyone who receives a message knows who else has
received it, and they can't tell if they just receive standard LISTSERV
headers...
:-)
Another list member provided this cautionary information, so beware....
Note the problems sending a separate RFC822 RCPT TO: to subscribers:

Thanks All!
