I posted a patch to the CVS tree that adds exactly that feature, a couple of
months ago. I think I'm the only one that uses it, though ;) (And the
version i posted had a couple of bugs, too.) I can extract a new patch from
my devel tree, if you are interested, but i doubt it'll be added to mailman
2.0 (no new features in betas ;)

I've been using it without much trouble, though it generates some confusion
with the subscribers, occasionally.
