Sorry, but _you_ detoured this discussion into "words" when you asked how I 
knew it was a mailing list.  I

You just asked a bunch of geeks for a solution to a trivial problem - you can 
_guarantee_ that you'll get a bunch of complex scripts to deal with any such 
question.  It doesn't mean that they feel the need to get "list" mail sent to 
them under their own name.  _You_ feel a need to hide the fact that you're 
sending mail to a list (despite the fact that you insist you're not spamming, 
that is very much the mark of a spammer).  _I_ say that the recipients will, 
for the most part, never even notice.
