For some kind of lists, timed delivery would be nice, but you can do 
this already, simply by using cron (say, mail to an alias that stuffs 
messages into a file, then using cron, mail them to the list at a 
given time). I'm not sure that this really buys a MLM a whole lot, 
except complexity. for the very limited number of users who'd want 
this, a couple of easy scripts and cron would do it.


>2) or as an mbox file

Go take a closer look at MIME digests. That is, basically, what a 
mime digest is, only more refined.
