... and this should be a lesson on how to NOT introduce yourself.

How about:
- A professional introduction
- A statement of what you are applying for
- Some background info about yourself
- Why you would be a good fit for the project

In other words, something of value.

Dear Jeremy,

I didn't mean to be disrespectful. But my actual application, I wanted
to submit via the official form.

This mail was solely to prove that I was capable of writing to a
mailinglist. Which I think I've proven.

Sincerely
Andreas
