My God, that's it!!!! THAT'S how you run a gatewayed mailing list and still
keep subscriber control... Oh mi gosh, my brain is reeling from the

Have Usenet "subscribers" sign up with NOMAIL set; when they read the list
via Usenet, instead of "followup", they select "reply via email" and send
to the list. Wow...
