Spammers can subscribe to the list, you know.  This is
a public list, so, yes, by definition literally anyone in the
entire world who has an internet connexion can see every
single email that you send to the list, & your email address
(& mine & Jerry Seinfeld's too, if he sends email to the list).

It is a public list.
