Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by 'mailist used by original
sender'.

When you forward an email, some of the headers of the original email
get thrown into the forward, which include any Cc's that the original
sender had sent the message to.

This being the case, here is my original (names replaced...) email, as
read in Entourage:

/begin original email

----- Original Message -----
From: "fake name" <[email protected]>
To: "fake name" <[email protected]>
Sent: Sunday, April 25, 2004 9:57 AM
Subject: Some more pictures of our blessng from God!

I hope everything is good in you lives. God Bless.

/end original email

* Now I will copy and paste this same message, but from the resulting
forward I create when hitting the forward button, and I have inserted
numbers for each line so as not to confuse the newsreader as to what is
quoted from this previous letter with what I am actually sending, and
to use as a reference in my explanation:

/beginning forwarded letter

/ending forwarded letter

*As you can see, Entourage insterted my signature, and then pasted the
message to be forwarded, including the Cc's of the original message
(lines 6 through11) I wanted to send.

This is what the person meant by "mailing list used by original sender."

To answer David's question, I don't think that is can be done. I'm not
saying it isn't possible, just that I have never heard of it. As long
as the person who sent you the message uses the To and Cc field to list
everyone, then they will get forwarded as part of the email when you go
to forward it.
