    Yes.  It wasn't clear to me whether you are doing the sending 
to other people or whether somebody is sending to a lot of people
including you.  In either case, assuming the sender is using Pine:

1)  If the version of the sending Pine involved is recent enough (I 
    do not remember the cutoff version number), put the distribution 
    list name in the Lcc: field instead of the To: field;

2)  If the version of Pine is not recent enough, put the distribution
    list name in the Bcc: field; put _something_ in the To: field,
    such as the sender's own email address (do not leave it blank).

- From the FAQ:

  How do I send a message to multiple recipients without showing all their
  names?
    
  In Pine's message composer, with the cursor in the message headers area,
  press Ctrl-R ("rich headers"). Then read the context-sensitive help
  screens for the Bcc: and Lcc: fields.

RIF.
