It seems really silly that you have to CC the recipients and tell them to ignore the message and instead look for a different message from some other address... I think that's gonna be a problem. You should try to figure out another way to handle that.

Yes. That is the trickiest part of getting started. However that step negates the user from needing to signup with another service. Normally, you would have to signup with a service, create your list, then invite your users, then send your message. This simplifies all of that with the cost of 1 initial email.

I've thought about this a lot and there just isn't any other option. One way to get around this is to build my own web/iphone/etc client which would know exactly how to handle the Cc's. But that is out of the current scope.

Putting the recipients in the body is not really an option since there is no auto-completion for email address in the body.

I'm left with trying to hammer that concept into anyone that uses the service with clear/concise/clever instructions.
