You could sub up to the digest mode, which might at least be less of a burden, but we can't let the list manager answer GET requests from non-subscribers, because "non-subscribing email address" means "non-validated unconfirmed email address", and we'd get people sending it fakemails in order to mailbomb the forged "From:" address by backscatter effect. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today....
