        I would not sugest having a list of subscribers publicly
accessable on the WWW interface, even if it is only avalable for the lists
that have review=public it gives spammers just one more place to get lists
of ``known good'' addresses.  As for producing the welcome, there should
be no problem with that.  But I do not know for sure.  I would think that
was a standard feature.
