I think most people do put their own address in To: and the distribution list 
name in BCC:

I've not got 1.10.3 any more, so I have to speak from memory.  It may not be 
accurate but it should get you on the right lines.

In KAddressbook, open the Distribution List panel (from somewhere in the top 
menu bar).  Choose the dist-list that you want to add to.  Scroll down the 
normal addresses until you find the address to be added.  Drag that address 
onto the dist-list pane.

I hope it's clue enough to get you started :-)
