Hmmm honestly I can't find what is your problem, tre`s che`re.
You can sort your mail in a proper way, and different address is very
sufficient to talk.

And mailinglist is more assured than Cc: list as you described:

(murmuring an old spell "read your f*ckin'  RFC822"*...)
* obsolate

You could add anything preferable to you in Subject: ...
Or a neat additional header like "X-WMF-Translation-Requests: "
(but I don't know it is possible on your environment.. perhaps not,
I'm afraid ...
mail environment on freemail accounts is tremendously awkward)

Reduce bureaucracy .. so perhaps curerntly the best way is "first
