[Tutor] Email list functions

[kirk Bailey]

OK, thinking about lists, and 2 new functions, digests and archives.

Archives are pretty simple. IF a file exists, ( such as
'(listname).archive') we append a copy of the complete assembled
message to it IN THAT FILE. So much for building the archive.

We also create an alias; '(listname)-archive'. Anyone wishing to
examine it sends a email to it. We have an autoreply program sitting
in the alias pointed at the archive program; said archive is the reply
to the request.

As for digests, this is still under the microscope, but it's not too
hard at all. Just how important do y'all feel this sort of thig is to
add to TL?
