Default How Possible - Emails Received Without My Address

I've begun receiving some political messages... not forwarded... with
a long list of names in the "To" section separated with semicolons;
nothing in the "CC" section. Puzzling thing is... my address isn't
listed. How's this possible?

the most obvious way is that your address is in the BCC field. Blind Carbon
Copy. They probably have some sneaky ways of doing it as well...

Are you sick of bad email practice? Get a copy of my paper "Implementing
Email Policy" from the Desk Doctors website.

you were either BCC'd or you overlooked your address in the To line. Look at
the message header to verify your address is not on the To line.
