Yesterday I contributed patches which enables Mailman to have this exact functionality which we borrowed from Yahoo Groups. Yet I've seen no response from you yet, and only one half dismissive response from another mailman developer.
Since mine was to only reply to your post, I assume it is that to which you refer. I didn't intend to be "dismissive". I'm sorry it came across that way. In fact, I specifically wrote "I am not trying to denegrate the work you've done or your contribution back to the Mailman project. I think this is a fine example of how open source works."
While I did add "I'm only trying to point out that there can be a "dark side" to this feature.", I didn't intend that to mean that it shouldn't be an option for those who might want it.
Also, while I may be prolific on the Mailman-Users list, for the record I have no official connection to the Mailman project. I'm just another Mailman administrator with a lot of software experience and evidently, way too much time on his hands. I wouldn't describe myself as a mailman developer, just an interested party trying to learn and contribute back.
