That happened because I did a "reply all" on your message, my MUA
populated the To: header field with your address and the CC: header
field with the list address.  Everybody got a message that said To:
arvel.hathcock at altn.com

Just to show that, I changed the To: address on this message to myself. 
You should see that too.
