However, you may find that it handles more mail than you are expecting. Take for instance any message you receive from this mailing list and look at the headers. You won't find your address in either the To: or Cc: header. This is very common behaviour for mailing lists, as you can do the same thing yourself by using Bcc: for a recipient in your mail software when sending mail.
