	That's correct.  That's how mailing lists usually work.  They 
take one input message, potentially add things like headers and 
footers, then send that back out to the list recipients -- tens, or 
hundreds, or thousands of addresses.

	They typically group as many recipients together as they can, so 
that they send one copy of the message, addressed to multiple users.
