Which is actually correct and is how the list - any list - works.

That is, each incoming mail is received by the listserver box on my
darkroom floor, cloned ~700 times into individual mails addressed to each
of the list recipients, and then sent via MX record (direct connection to
each susbcriber's mailserver, avoiding my ISP's SMTP). So it really
truthfully is 'To:' you.

If you viewed the full header you would also see (apart from info that you
are using MS Outlook Express mail client - which tends to hide useful
header info :-) :-
