Not really an answer to your question, but it's probably considered bad
style to publish the email addresses of the recipients via the address
list. Use a neutral To-address (best: the mailing list address) and add
the recipients via bcc: headers.
You might also want to look at mailman
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/, which is a complete mailing list
solution written in Python.
