Ooops, I got the mailto: URL of the form:
mailto:cohousing-l-request at communityfourm.net?subject=info
mixed up with an email address with a username something like
cohousing-l-info at communityfourm.net 
which effectively encodes the command in the address.  Since nothing of
the latter form exists in mailman for the info command a simple email
alias would not be possible...  Guess I did not get enough sleep last
night...

I still wonder about the:
