I think I like the idea of filtering out HTML tags (conversion to plaintext a
la w3c/lynx, filter software available on freshmeat.net) and automatically
prefixing "[OL]" the subject lines of non-subscribers' emails with "[OL]" the
best, but it has been way too long since I've managed a list that allowed any
sort of automatic non-owner posts.

This grabbed my interest. Is it an SRM-console Alpha? The only Alpha I own
is an ARC-console machine, which makes it rather undesirable. If Jay doesn't
want it, could I chime in? :) (I really like big, noisy bas^H^H^Hmachines!)
Sincerely,
Chris.
