They might be using the Bcc: field or there may be a way to embed your address in the envelope area as is done by list software. I also wonder if Pine's + sign applies to Bcc as well as CC header fields. Another note about this spam stuff, It is worth a try to expand the headers with pine's h command and see where the mail originated from. Once this is found, then forward the mail with headers expanded to abuse@<provider> where provider is the originating source. I've successfully stopped some spam this way. Unfortunately, some spam gets here without *ANYTHING* in the headers. God knows how that got here but I couldn't do anything with that one. Also, simply ignoring them eventually works too unless it got so out of hand that ignoring isn't bareable.
