Yes, well, it's a tad more complex than that. What I actually do is
to have an Outlook 2000 client permanently logged on to an Exchange
mailbox which is the target of [EMAIL PROTECTED], then I create
entries in his local Contacts list for each of the list addresses,
then finally I can do a "sent to people or distribution list" filter
clause to catch them - this catches Cc: as well.

The messages are routed to Public Folders under the Internet
Newsgroups tree, and I actually read them with a newsreader. My
original post looks like this:

Bizarre, but it's one of those historical things.
