Just a guess on a work around.  When evolution encounters an exchange
group (distribution list) in addressing, it expands that group when
sending the email.  So when sending to an exchange list evolution
actually sends to the individual members of the group, not to the group
address.

Now, if it handles local lists the same way (and I don't know because I
don't use local lists), you could copy the list membership from the
resulting email.
