Ben, thank you. Yes, I had thought about this, but I also wanted to use topics, which require the use of MAIL, and I have to find a method to descriminate between TEXT and HTML. (that's another post) I was also thinking about a super-list/sub-list configuration. Any ideas? I'm just trying to keep the implementation as simple as possible. I would prefer not to have to write a web site with all the security and database connectivity issues (maintainence!) to maintain something as simple as text/html flag and writing the post to the archives.
