made-up simple example via a simple question

re: (from your post, what you said)
"First, I didn't steal the list,
I am list member and it was e-mailed to me."

The simple question: What is a "list member" ?

Is it a member of a list, where member is the target of a "To:" ?

seems so,
ok,
The made-up simple example:

From: gotmilk
To: BobZ
To: MattB
To: Secret Milk Friend
To: HotB
Subject: That Susie has blonde belly button hairs :o)

ok,
So based on your way of thinking, you received two items.
1. The subject information.
2. The mailing list.
ok,
True.
but,
Lets see if you can understand the word "intent."
ok,
Seems you think "Subject: That Susie has..."
did not delineate the purpose (aka intent) of the e-mail,
but that each e-mail you receive containing To:(s)
is an implied "Subject: Please receive these To:(s) as "subject matter."
