It may depend on how your MTA is set up. On my lists, there is an internal 
Received: line where the mailman machine hands off the message to itself. 
That message ID allows me to lookup the recipient despite AOL's obfuscation.

Here's an example from a test list, luckly someone just tested it:
(Mycroft is the border mail machine, Friday is the web/mailman server)
If I had a complaint I would look up message ID m7DF2jJX008532 on 
host Friday. 

Received: from friday.westnet.com (Friday.westnet.com [216.187.52.6])
    by westnet.com (8.14.0/8.14.0) with ESMTP id m7DF301M001618
