Exactly-- umbrella lists, my apologies for not using the correct terminology the first time.
For instance, I have two separate Mailman lists-- ListA and ListB. ListB is the only "member" subscribed to ListA. If I send an email to ListA, it will archive in both ListA and ListB. (But, if I send an email to ListB only, it will not archive in ListA.) For some lists, I have multiple other lists subscribed. My problem is that if I send an email to ListA, a member of both lists who only reads the archives won't be able to tell if the email was sent to ListA or to ListB. If I can't make the original headers available in the archives, is there a way to display the "to" address? I notice that both list names will show up as they appear in "Prefix for subject line of list postings"...is there a way to make that field exclusive for the email address I'm sending to?
