AFAIK you never get "your email address". Also, in Outlook Express (and possibly other mail readers too), there is no way to get the software to show the Delivered-To: header(s)*automatically*. You can view them but it requires several keystokes and is therefore easy to forget. No, you can't filter on them either. Messages from unsubscribed users *sometimes* have "[moderated]" in the subject but this is not 100% reliable. I wonder if the moderator's software has some option that could be invoked to make it 100% reliable ... Mr/Ms Moderator - are you listening?
