Thanks Guru for submitting this script. In my limited testing, I don't
find any issues. It works as expected.

If I run this script on a series which spans across different lists,
there is a possiblity that we send partial series to certain lists. What
is the best way to deal with this? one way is to include union of all
lists in CC while sending the series with primary maintainer in TO. Can
the script print those values for easier workflow?

Thanks,
Pavan
