Subject: "Lcc:" and "To:"

I've put together a couple distribution lists, and, following the Pine help
instructions, inserted the distribution list "nick" in the "Lcc" header. 

According to the help menu, the "name" of the distribution list should
appear in the "To:" area (e.g.: "Name.of.list": ;). But what I get
appearing is the name of the list *plus* the name of the first person on
the list (e.g.: "Name.of.list"Joe.Smith: ;).

The whole point of using Lcc is to hide the names on the list. Furthermore,
it would be confusing for a John Smith to get a message apparently mailed
to Joe Smith. I've put myself on the list also, so I know that what shows
up at the destinations is this same nick plus first name on list thing.  

Anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it?

Hello!

I've seen that problem as well.  I discovered I could avoid it by
being very careful to enter ^r first and then inserting the nickname
on the Lcc: line next--the result is that only the listname appears in the
received mail.

The problem seemed to occur when I first inserted the nickname in
the To: line and then moved it to the Lcc: line.  So when I realize
I've done that, I cancel the message and then carefully insert the
nickname in the Lcc: line, avoiding the To: line altogether.

Hope this helps!

This doesn't work for me. The only thing I can do to prevent the first
person on the list from appearing in the "To" field is to go in and edit
the field manually. This is a pain. I think it's a bug in Pine. Anyone else
have this problem?
