I'd argue that's a broken list, as it doesn't send me mail with the list 
headers.

There are major arguments over the technically correct solution.  Let's not 
get into them here.  Suffice it to say, if someone asks you to not CC them 
when you send to the list, it's polite not to.  (At least for that 
discussion.)
