The "To" field should say ......  ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com , in
general - in your case you CC ed the list, and that also happens - you can,
if you wish, filter on the the CC as well, or alternatively in whatever
pattern suits you.

Might I suggest that Outlook Express is not ideal for mailing lists? Can
you install mozilla-thunderbird, for example? 

Alternatively, you can subscribe via Gmane and use the list as a
newsgroup. There are quite a few Windows news clients, I believe ( I don't
know, since I use Ubuntu ) .
