The "To" address doesn't get changed by any such service that I know of. Still, it's a real problem, since some MUAs will display a nickname for addresses in the contact list, and users don't necessarily connect to "oh I can look it up in the contact list". After all, it's "to me", and I know who I am. :-) > Even if only after they leave work.

You should look at personalizing list delivery, which would allow you to insert a similar notice to the user's options page as a footer (or header) of the post. This may not be allowed by your host (it can increase the bandwidth used to deliver posts by a factor of 100 or more, although realistically a factor between 1 and 5 seems most likely), and you might not like it either (it will take a similar factor more time to deliver your posts). One last problem is that footers (and headers) don't mix well with HTML email.
