The best method IMHO is to send two separate copies. This is what
I do with all the news bits I post to both libernet and libertarians.
With the mailer I have, it's trivial to send the same mail twice
with two different addresses.

I've missed headers as well. Every time I do I check vigorously
for a while, but then fall back into laziness again.
