As someone suggested (in a subsequent note, i think - i'm catching up
on ones i've previously scanned, here), i mention in the short
description that "poster" is *strongly* recommended, and included a bit
more explanation and the URL barry came up with in the long description.

(And while i'm at it, someone might enjoy seeing the refinement of the
long description presentation i made last week - the gui presentation of
the current setting is used, instead of the data values.  See
http://www.python.org/mailman/admin/postal and click on one of the
'details' for an example...)

This would not be hard!  Also would not be high priority.  And i have to
say, when streaming through my inbox, i often use the fact that i got a
message twice as the cue that i'm among the direct recipients (something
i noticed a lot today with mailman-developer's mail:).  I'm not sure i'd
want to be without this, despite the inbox clutter...
