My thought was that you'd have an option to allow non-members to post  
to the list after email verification.  If verification is via web  
page, we can give the poster the option to become a member at the  
same time.  We probably don't want to do that via mail-back  
verification (just because there's no good way to make this optional  
in an email message).

Say a non-member poster auto-verified, and chose to join the list at  
the same time, then if moderator approval was required for  
subscriptions, they'd have to go through that dance in order to  
join.  But they wouldn't have to do a confirmation dance because  
they'd essentially already confirmed their email address.
