I agree, for similar reasons. The header line from this message (which
doesn't appear in the reply below) was "X-RCPT-TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" I had
to rummage around in here just to find it (Outlook doesn't make it
particularly easy), and each client in use would be different. It would be
handy to have it displayed.
Speaking as one with about eleven email addresses himself, most of which
forward to one "in use" address.

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] variable tags for list server?
Well, copied below is what a "typical" user would see when a iMail list
server sends a message. There is no indication what email address the
message was sent to. There is possibly something in the header, but I'm not
talking about email whizzes here. If they understood that concept, they
could probably figure out how to unsubscribe on their own. I'm going for
the 95% that don't understand it.
As to slowing down the send, I'd go for a bit more sending overhead to avoid
the multiple "can't unsubscribe" auto messages and then the irate emails
from the person who can't figure it out.
But, thanks for the suggestion and reply.

Isn't some header line containing the specific mail address the list server
sent the message to because that's the one that was subscribed with?
Adding user-specific to the msg body seems to be good way to slow down list
delivery, esp when the info is already in the headers.
