Huh?  No it doesn't; not after all the intervening mailers (Sendmail,
SMail, etc.) between the list server and the recipient have had their way
with the "To:" line of the message...

If you want to tell the user what address they're subscribed with, you've
got to do it somewhere that the intervening mail systems won't notice, like
a non-standard header or somewhere in the body.
