I am not subcribed either, but I do not need or want CCs.
python-list is mirrored at news.gmane.org where you can access it as 
either newsgroup gmane.comp.python.idle or via their web interface. 
Many mail programs have embedded news readers, and there are standalone 
news readers.  I have used both Outlook Express and now Thunderbird.

I am CCing this this time, but it is a nuisance for me, so just this once.
