	Sure: write to the sender to say that (s)he should be
using pine 3.93 with Lcc: in the default headers, and putting
the nickname for that list into it!

In article <[email-masked]>,
>all 100 and some other names that the message was sent to?

I believe this must be fixed on the sending side.
If the sender is using Pine 3.92 or later, ask him/her to put the addresses in
the Lcc: field rather than the To: or Cc: field.

If the sender is using Pine 3.91 or earlier, or another mail program, ask
him/her to put the addresses in the Bcc: field, _and_ put something like this
in the To: field:

To: The Chosen Few : ;

(The : ; are important.)

It may be that whoever is sending to you is using the second method, but
without the second step.

Greetings,
Ørjan.
