... 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
