Hi Robert,

I wear the sysop hat this time.

If the list (KICTANet) address is not in the To or Cc field, then that can
only mean it is in the Bcc field. By design, the listserv does not accept
mails where it finds itself in the Bcc field. There are reasons for that and
it's not our wish to change that rule because of the possible ramifications.
Every list member is encouraged to have the list address specified in the
"To" field and not Cc or Bcc. The obvious problem of having the list in the
Cc is what is called cross-posting. I am sure you've seen how profusely some
members have had to apologize for cross-posting. Maybe you can ask them why
such apologies are necessary? I believe it is simply etiquette :-)
